I haven't been able to use the CD drive since buying my computer.  The CDs won't fit on the drive wheel.  I was told there is something I need to purchase to use the CD drive.  I don't know what this would be.  Can you help me?

Are you trying to put the CD in upside down?

 

If your desktop PC has a DVD/CD disk it is pretty straightforward to use.

 

You do not need to purchase anything special to use it.

 

I must admit that I never cared for a setup where the optical disk was mounted vertically.

 

That does make it  a bit tricky. You can turn it on its side to simplify things.

 

You could always buy an USB external DVD rewriter. That would take the hassle out of it.
