Common Tasks
Understanding Your Drives
The PC has a diskette (floppy) drive (select
models only), and one or more compact disc
(CD) drives. For information about the optional
6-In-1 memory card reader (select models only),
refer to “Using the 6-In-1 Memory Card Reader”
on page 62.
There are different types of optical disc drives
that may be included with the PC, depending
on your PC model:

CD-ROM drive, which can read audio and
data CD discs.

CD-RW drive, which can read and record
(burn) audio and data CD discs.

DVD-ROM drive, which can read CD and
DVD discs.

DVD+RW/+R drive, which can read and
write (burn) CD and DVD discs.

Combination drive, which combines the
functions of two drives into one: either a
DVD+RW/+R drive and a CD-RW drive,
or a DVD-ROM drive and a CD-RW drive.
Note:
There are two types of DVD discs: DVD+R/RW
and DVD-R/RW. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
do not work in the DVD+RW/+R drive.
Most optical drives can read both CD-R and
CD-RW discs. Home and car CD players can read
CD-R discs but most cannot read CD-RW discs.
On some PCs, the CD-RW drive is labeled
CD Writer, the DVD+RW/+R drive is labeled
DVD Writer, and the combo drive is labeled
DVD Writer/CD Writer Combo drive.
