Setting up your Blu-ray Disc drive Setting up your Blu-ray Disc drive Your computer has a Blu-ray Disc™ drive if the optical disc drive has the following logo on the front: Blu-ray Disc is a high-capacity optical disc that can store much more data than a DVD. A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 50 GB of files, about 23 hours of standard-definition video, or about nine hours of high-definition video. Blu-ray Discs are even more durable than CDs and DVDs. New scratch-resistant coatings make Blu-ray Discs more resistant to scratching and smudging. You do not need to perform any special setup to enable or use your optional Blu-ray Disc drive. You can use a Blu-ray Disc drive the same way you use a DVD or CD drive, because it also reads any DVD and CD, and can write to recordable CDs and DVDs. For instructions, see "Using the CD or DVD drive" in your online User Guide. Setting up your HD DVD drive Your computer has an HD DVD™ drive if the optical disc drive has the following logo on the front: HD DVDs can store much more data than a DVD. A dual-layer HD DVD can hold 30 GB of files, about 14 hours of standard-definition video, or about 5.5 hours of high-definition video. Your HD DVD drive is a read-only drive for HD DVDs, but can write to recordable CDs and DVDs. 27
