1 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 or external hard drive from one location, initiate Sleep, and allow the screen

to clear.

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.

2 Using an optical drive (select models

only)

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.

2 Chapter 2 Using an optical drive (select models only)

Identifying the installed optical drive

Select Start >Computer.

You will see a list of all the devices installed on your computer, including your optical drive. You may

have one of the following types of drives:

●DVD-ROM Drive

●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.
