How to open a cd and see the contents of a disc in your cd rom drive

Most cds are autrun now but if you create a cd or have an old cd autorun may not be there or may not work. You need to know how to open the CD rom drive and see what files are on it.

This video shows how to open a cd or see the contents of a disc in your cd rom drive. When you put a cd in your cd rom drive and you want to install a program if it does not autorun … or you want to look at photos that are on the cd or dvd disc… this is where to go. It is generally called the D or perhaps the E drive.

If you are unsure when there, which file to click on to install a program, generally looking for a file with the words setup on it or a file that ends in .exe – these will install the program onto your harddrive. If you cannot see the file extension , right click the file and choose properties. The icon may show a cog wheel.
