Hi I have found it on my Desktop the top draw is a CDW both writes and
reads I pulled it out and carefully put a fingure
behind I could feel a little sort of round pole sticking up I pushed it down
carefully then using a forefinger started to revolve the fsort of mesh grid
behind it and it was circling, I could not raise up the little pole bit so
I closed the draw and then opened it and it has risen up. I then came to
Toshieba laptop and opened what is only a WReadable notwritable draw and
although there is a mesh area behind it it does not have a little pole
sticking up and my fingure couldn't make it revolve. I had no idea about this
Mini cd on Desktop how exciting!

Dear Barbara and list:
Probably they use the smaller CDs for software distribution because they're
cheaper to make than full size disks and fit into the retail packaging easier.
Guess this is a good point to consider when buying a PC with DVD/CD drive,
whether it has just a slot to stick the disk into like a floppy disk drive or
has an actual drawer that slides out so you can place the little CD on the
center spindle.
Oh if you're wondering how a CD or DVD drive can work with both full size and
small disks, a dealer once told me that unlike an LP record, DVD and CD are
played from the center to the outside rim! This is why the drive doesn't go
crazy seeking the first track of the disk with data when you place a small disk
into it.
Idea!
Contact your PC or DVD drive manufacturer and explain the problem. I suppose
someone may make an adapter, but I've never heard of one.
