HINT: You can also back up a file to a diskette by clicking the file (or files) you want to backup with the secondary button, then pointing to Send To and clicking 3 1/2 Floppy (A:). Using your CD or DVD drive Your computer may have a CD-ROM drive, CD-RW drive, DVD-ROM drive, or a DVD-ROM/CD-RW multifunction drive. CD-ROM drives can play back prerecorded CDs. DVD-ROM drives can play back both prerecorded CDs and DVDs. With a CD-RW drive you can write files (including music) to a CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) disc. A DVD-ROM/ CD-RW multifunction drive can do all of these things. Compact discs (CDs) store up to 700 MB of data or music. You use CD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant increase in data storage and support features that are not available on any other video platform. These features include wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus. The computer can play high-resolution video at up to 30 frames per second. NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play DVDs while running on AC power rather than battery power.
