Hi, I'm not Sarah, but I can tell you she is talking here about Command Shift C. This is the finder keystroke to take you directly to the computer area where-in are mounted all of your drives and drive images.
So suppose for example that you put in a dvd full of data and now you are in finder. To view the contents of the dvd, you press command shift C for computer. Then tab to your dvd which will be called something different every time. Then you press command O on it to open and view the contents.
