Cautions:
• Formatting a disk removes any data that might have been
saved on that disk.
• Be sure to keep your disks away from heat and other mag-
netic items that can damage the disk and the information on
it.

Using Your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive
Unlike floppy disks, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM discs can be used
only for putting data into your computer. Your Acer computer
can use two types of CD-ROM discs: audio discs and data
discs.
Data CDs can hold a lot of information and very large pro-
grams. One CD can hold more information than is contained
on 450 floppy diskettes.
Press the eject button to manually open or close the CD tray.
To insert a CD or a DVD, place it in the tray with the title side
facing up, then press the CD eject button to close it.
Note: It may take up to 30 seconds for a disc to stop spinning before
the drive opens up. If you try to run the software when you first
insert the CD (or DVD) and you get an error message like Drive Not
Ready, wait a few seconds, then try again.
Note: Your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive will probably emit a sound
like that of a fan. Unless you are having other problems with your
drive, you should not be concerned.
Caring for
your CDs
A CD or DVD has two
sides:
• The title side tells you
which CD/DVD it is.
• The data side stores all the
data.
CDs and DVDs are fragile,
so when handling your CDs
or DVDs, hold them by the
edges to avoid leaving
smudges or fingerprints.
Always keep them in a disc
case when not in use to
avoid scratches or other
damage. Any kind of dirt or
damage can affect the data
on the disc, impair the CD
lens reader on the CD-
ROM/DVD-ROM drive, or
stop the computer from suc-
cessfully reading the disc.
To clean your CDs or
DVDs, use a clean, dust-
free cloth and wipe in a
straight line from the cen-
ter to the edge. Continue
around the whole disc.
(DO NOT wipe in a circle.)
You can also periodically
clean your CD-ROM/DVD-
ROM drive to prevent
problems from reading
discs on your computer.
For more information, refer
to the Cleaning Kit that
came with your system.
