1 Identifying installed drives

To view the drives installed on the computer, select Start >Computer.

NOTE: Windows® includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer.

You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing applications, running

utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Windows Help for more information.

2 Handling drives

Drives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following cautions

before handling drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information,

observe these precautions:

Before you move a computer that is connected to an external hard drive, initiate Sleep and allow the

screen to clear, or properly disconnect the external hard drive.

Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching the unpainted metal surface of the drive.

Do not touch the connector pins on a removable drive or on the computer.

Handle a drive carefully; do not drop a drive or place items on it.

Before removing or inserting a drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer

is off, in the Sleep state, or in Hibernation, turn the computer on and then shut it down through the

operating system.

Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive into a drive bay.

Do not type on the keyboard or move the computer while the optical drive(select models only) is writing

to a disc. The write process is sensitive to vibration.

When the battery is the only source of power, be sure that the battery is sufficiently charged before

writing to media.

Avoid exposing a drive to temperature or humidity extremes.

Avoid exposing a drive to liquids. Do not spray the drive with cleaning products.

Remove media from a drive before removing the drive from the drive bay, or traveling with, shipping, or

storing a drive.

If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protective packaging

and label the package “FRAGILE.”

Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-

through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage, such as

conveyor belts, use X-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a drive.

3 Using an optical drive

Your computer includes an optical drive that expands the functionality of the computer. Identify what

kind of device is installed in your computer to see its capabilities. The optical drive allows you to read

data discs, play music, and watch movies. If your computer includes a Blu-ray Disc ROM Drive, then

you can also watch high-definition video from disc.

Identifying the installed optical drive

Select Start >Computer.

●DVD±RW/R and CD-RW Combo Drive

●DVD±RW/R and CD-RW Combo Drive with Double-Layer (DL) support

●LightScribe DVD±RW/R and CD-RW Combo drive with Double-Layer (DL) support

NOTE: Some of the drives listed above may not be supported by your computer.

Identifying the installed optical drive 3

Using optical discs

An optical drive, such as a DVD-ROM drive, supports optical discs (CDs and DVDs). These discs store

information, such as music, photos, and movies. DVDs have a higher storage capacity than CDs.

Your optical drive can read standard CD and DVD discs. If your optical drive is a Blu-ray Disc ROM

Drive, it can also read Blu-ray discs.

NOTE: Some of the optical drives listed may not be supported by your computer. The listed drives are

not necessarily all of the supported optical drives.

Some optical drives can also write to optical discs as described in the following table.

CAUTION: To prevent possible audio and video degradation, loss of information, or loss of audio or

video playback functionality, do not initiate Sleep or Hibernation while reading or writing to a CD or DVD.

4 Chapter 3 Using an optical drive

Selecting the right disc

An optical drive supports optical discs (CDs and DVDs). CDs, used to store digital data, are also used

for commercial audio recordings and are convenient for your personal storage needs. DVDs are used

primarily for movies, software, and data backup purposes. DVDs are the same form factor as CDs but

have 6 to 7 times the storage capacity.

NOTE: The optical drive on your computer may not support all the types of optical discs discussed in

this section.

CD-R discs

CD-R (write-once) discs are widely used for creating a permanent copy of data that can be shared as

needed. Typical uses include the following:

●Distributing large presentations

●Sharing scanned and digital photos, video clips, and written data

●Making your own music CDs

●Keeping permanent archives of computer files and scanned home records

●Offloading files from your hard drive to free up disk space

After data is recorded, it cannot be erased or written over.

CD-RW discs

Use a CD-RW disc (a rewritable version of a CD) to store large projects that must be updated frequently.

Typical uses include the following:

●Developing and maintaining large documents and project files

●Transporting work files

●Making weekly backups of hard drive files

●Updating photos, video, audio, and data continuously

DVD±R discs

Use blank DVD±R discs to permanently store large amounts of information. After data is recorded, it

cannot be erased or written over.

DVD±RW discs

Use DVD+RW discs if you want to be able to erase or write over data that you saved earlier. This type

of disc is ideal for testing audio or video recordings before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot

be changed.

LightScribe DVD+R discs

Use LightScribe DVD+R discs for sharing and storing data, home videos, and photos. These discs are

read-compatible with most DVD-ROM drives and DVD video players. With a LightScribe-enabled drive

and LightScribe software, you can write data to the disc and then add a designer label to the outside of

the disc.

Selecting the right disc 5

Blu-ray Disc

Also called BD, Blu-ray Disc is a high-density optical disc format for the storage of digital information,

including high-definition video. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can store 25 GB, over five times more than

the 4.7-GB single-layer DVD. A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can store 50 GB, almost 6 times more than the

8.5-GB dual-layer DVD.

Typical uses include the following:

●Storage of large amounts of data

●High-definition video playback and storage

Playing a CD or DVD

1. Turn on the computer.

2. Press the release button (1) on the drive bezel to release the disc tray.

3. Pull out the tray (2).

4. Hold the disc by the edges to avoid touching the flat surfaces and position the disc label-side up

over the tray spindle.

NOTE: If the tray is not fully accessible, tilt the disc carefully to position it over the spindle.

5. Gently press the disc (3) down onto the tray spindle until the disc snaps into place.

6. Close the disc tray.

If you have not yet configured AutoPlay, as described in the following section, an AutoPlay dialog box

opens. It prompts you to select how you want to use the media content.
