Hewlett-Packard laptop computers generally include a CD/DVD drive built right into your PC. This drive is used to play disc-based games, CDs, and DVDs, and if equipped with a burner, you can use this drive to burn blank discs or rip the contents of a disc to your PC. Opening the DVD drive and accessing its contents on your HP laptop is done the same way as you would on most Windows PCs. All in all, it takes only a few moments.
