Creating a DVD by Using
the DVD+RW/+R Drive
The DVD+RW/+R drive is available on select
models only.
The DVD+RW/+R drive plays movie DVDs
and music CDs, reads data CDs and DVDs,
and records files to DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R,
and CD-RW discs.
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.
For steps to play a movie, see “Playing DVD
Movies” on page 71.
The guide for this drive is printed and included
in the PC box (select models).
Using the Combo Drive
The combination drive is available on select
models only. It 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.
When you insert a disc in the combo drive,
the PC automatically detects the type of disc:
■
If you insert a software program CD, it is
available for use.
■
If you insert a music CD, a window opens
for the program that plays CDs. See
“Playing Music CDs” on page 66.
■
If you insert a DVD movie, the Video window
and WinDVD control panel open. See “Playing
DVD Movies” on page 71.
