1 Identifying installed drives

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

The installed hard drives will be listed, along with the total capacity and space available on each drive.

Devices with removable storage will also be listed.

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 software, running

utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support 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 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

Identifying the installed optical drive

Select Start >Computer.

Using optical discs (CDs and DVDs)

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

or transport information and play music and movies. DVDs have a higher storage capacity than CDs.

All optical drives can read from optical discs and some drives can also write to optical discs, as described

in the following table.

*Double-layer (DL) discs can store more data than single-layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may

not be compatible with many single-layer DVD drives and players.

†LightScribe discs must be purchased separately. LightScribe creates a grayscale image similar to black-and-white

photography.

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.

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. If you have Windows Vista®

Ultimate or Windows Vista Home Premium installed on your computer, you can use either Windows

Media Player or WinDVD to play DVD media. For all other Vista editions, choose WinDVD to play DVD

media.
