CD-ROM drive
The CD-ROM drive lets you read information from CDs. Your computer identifies
the CD-ROM as drive R: and it is a read-only drive. You cannot write information to
CD-ROMs. Many software applications and reference works are shipped on CDs
because they store over 600 MB of data.
Using Windows Entertainment Accessories, you can also use the CD-ROM drive to
play CD-Audio disks and Video CD disks.
Floppy Disk Drive
The floppy disk drive is a useful tool because practically all computers can read and
write to 3.5-inch floppy disks with a storage capacity of 720K or 1.44 MB. Your
computer identifies the floppy disk drive as drive A:.
When you need to store a file, or transfer a file to a friend or colleague's computer,
it's very convenient to use a floppy disk.
