Loading a CD
1. Press the Eject button. The tray slides out of the drive.
2. Place the CD in the tray with the label facing up.
3. Close the tray by gently pushing the tray in until it latches.
Attention: Do not use force or insert foreign objects to open the CD tray. If your tray
does not open when you press the Eject button, see "Manually ejecting a CD" for more
information.
Manually ejecting a CD
If you press the Eject button and the tray does not slide out, turn off the
computer and straighten a large paper clip to form a tool, as shown in the
illustration. The straightened end must extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert
the extended end into the manual-eject hole on the front of the drive. Push the
paper clip until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until you can remove
the CD.
Using CD-R and CD-RW discs
The CD-RW drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-R discs
cannot be erased, but can be used with standard CD-ROM drives and CD
players.
You can use CD-R discs to record audio tracks, store data, archive files, and
copy files from another CD.
