True if you have a CD-ROM Drive that is ancient, produced prior to 1997.  If you
have one that is since then that cannot, then you need to check for newer
drivers.  Most CD-ROM 16X and better can read the multiple formats, if not its
time to invest in a new one, or one that can read DVD's as well as CD-ROM's.
