Abstract

Compact Disk Read –Only- Memory (CD-ROM),is one of the laser based mass data storage devices that came into being as a contender for an alternative to magnetic tape ,which runs into miles for the same quality of data recorded. Tremendous strides in finding applications for laser made CD-ROM a versatile medium for storage of large mass of information .CD – ROM technology which uses laser, rather than electromagnetic methods for recording and/or playback is generally known by its generic name, optical storage media.
