C:\ Components Handling Safety Important Directories The Optical Drive Loading a Disc Unlike optical drives of desktop PCs optical drives of notebooks retain discs with the help of a locking mechanism. When inserting the disc you should take care to push the disc right onto the locking mechanism so that it can lock in position. Do not use scratched or dirty discs, discs with pieces broken off or discs of poor quality. Because of the high speeds in the drive the discs might break and damage your data as well as your drive. Damage caused by faulty media is excluded from warranty and their repair must be charged. The disc can be damaged when the drive drawer is pushed in, if it has not been positioned on the support correctly. 42 Main Components 1. Remove the disc from its case, without touching the unprinted side if possible. Place the disc on the tray so that it lays flat with the label facing upward and gently push the tray in to close it. The disc will now lie flat on the tray and will engage onto the disc holder audibly. While the notebook is accessing the optical drive the media activity indicator is lit. Do not try to remove the disc from the drive while this LED is lit. Aid 5. Test that the disc is able to turn freely and then push the tray back into the optical drive carefully. The `E' drive letter will have been allocated to your optical drive in the delivery status. You will have easy access to your files on your disks with Windows Explorer (Computer). Start the Computer Help Program by means of the Desktop link or by pressing the Windows key and the `E' key at the same time. The pre-installed media reproduction will be used automatically during access to DVD videos (or audio and video files on normal data CDs). Press the eject button if you want to remove a disc. Components Handling Emergency Ejection of a Blocked Disc If the tray fails to open automatically, then the tray can be opened manually provided there is an opening for emergency ejection. Restart your notebook and if the tray is still locked proceed as follows: 1. Insert a long thin object (like a straightened paper clip) into the emergency ejection opening until you feel resistance. 3. Remove the disc and restart the notebook. Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs Your notebook is able to playback and to retrieve Audio CDs, DVD Movies and Data discs.
