The CD-ROM Drive

The CD ROM drive uses CDs (Compact Discs) instead of flop-

py disks, and it is Read Only Memory, which means that the

computer can read data from the disc, but cannot write any-

thing new on it. It is typically called the D: drive. On some

computers, the CD-ROM may be another drive letter. Please

refer to My Computer for the current drive letter assignment

on your Windows 98 desktop.

The DVD-ROM Drive

The DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc

Read Only Memory) is a new type of CD-ROM. It can hold

capacities ranging from 4.7 GB to a maximum if 17 GB, and can

support access rates from 600 Kilobytes per second to 1.2

Megabytes per second. It is backward-compatible with CD-

ROMs which means that DVD players can play not only DVD-

ROMs, but old CD-ROMs, CD-I disks, video CDs, and CD-R

disks as well. DVD uses MPEG-2 to compress video data.

Note: All of the information you save on your hard drive takes up

space, so you will want to clean it up periodically to maintain the best

performance.

Refer to My Aspire Guide for more information on scanning and ana-

lyzing the information on your hard drive.

Floppy Drive and

Hard Drive

Using Your Floppy Drive

Floppy disks are used for putting data into your computer or

for taking it out.

1 • Insert the floppy disk into the drive, as shown. (The metal

circle on the disk's underside should be facing down.)

2 • Push it in gently until it pops into place.

3 • Remove the floppy disk by pressing the eject button.

Why Disks?

(Or Discs, For

that Matter...)

The advantage of a floppy

disk or CD is that it makes

data portable.

Practically all newly pur-

chased software comes in

one of these two formats.

Data is often exchanged

between computers on

floppy disks. Be aware that

there is an inherent danger

of virus infection in casual

swapping or sharing of

floppy disks with your

friends and associates. Files,

applications or programs

downloaded from the

Internet also carry possible

danger. Refer to My Aspire

Guide or page 30 for more

information.
