Is an external CD drive what I need?

Since you use a digital textbook every day, it can be inconvenient for you not to have a CD/DVD ROM drive on your laptop, but I would recommend, if you have space on your hard drive, probably make a copy of the CD onto your hard drive and you'll just have to access it from there.

Otherwise, yeah you would actually have to buy an external hard drive if the above option does not work for you

First yes an external CD-drive would be an option but i would suggest getting a cheap 2gb-4gb thumb/pen/flash drive and getting on an available PC and transfering the data on the CD to your flash drive there for the need of a CD-drive would be no more

Hope this answers your question

If you need a CD drive, then yes, an external is what you are looking for. It will plug into your computer probably through USB, and you just take it with you wherever you go. An internal CD drive probably won't work for your laptop, if there isn't already a place for a CD drive. :-)

Sounds like an external cd/dvd drive is what your after. I'd try stay away from panasonic/matshita drives personally other than that research models your interested in via google to make sure it's what you require it to do. S

definite costly you're able to do it yet circulate to the BIOS sating and circulate as properly determination and decide the 1st booting determination USB CD/DVD ROM then press F10 for save then press Y for restart your laptop and press any key then your equipment format ok thank you

I'd recommend you to use usb flash drive instead of CD-ROM.

It's cheaper, it's portable and rewritable.
