Your CD-ROM drive can run software on CD-ROMs as

Caring for CDs
As with diskettes, CDs require special handling so that
you dont lose important information. Follow these
tips:
•
Return CDs to their protective cases when you are
finished using them.
•
Avoid touching the underside of the disc with
your fingers or placing the disc face up on your
desktop. Doing so could scratch the surface.
•
Handle the disc by its outside edges or inner hole
only.
•
Store CDs at room temperature.
