Using optical media drives
The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-based
programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") CD/DVDs or 8 cm (3.15") CD without an
adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When
the computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows.
NOTE: Use the WinDVD 4 application to view DVD-Video discs.
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs section for
precautions on writing to CDs.
