Updated February 10, 2017 Find the CD drive opening on your laptop. Typically this is located on the right side of your laptop near the back. Press down the button on the center of the drive door. The CD drive will open. Pull out the drive until it cannot be pulled any farther. Insert the CD into the CD drive. Press down firmly on the CD until it snaps into place, then push the drive back into the computer. The computer will then take 30 to 60 seconds to briefly read the CD and its contents, after which you can access the CD. Writer Bio
