1. How do you distribute it to other computers? (Burn a CD or can you use a jump drive?)

There is a CD included that starts the process. Then the registration that works on what ever number of computers your purchase the softward for. Does that help? The thing to remember is that the clock starts as soon as you download it to the first computer. The nice thing is that it is so much cheaper and all your systems are on the same schedule.

If it has a usb slot you can buy an external cd/dvd drive and load it that way. You can buy one on ebay for about $20.

I was able to transfer all of my floppys to my computer using this drive. You should be able to then transfer or burn them to cd or dvd.

yes you can burn CDs and DVDs. My one complaint about this PC is that it is shipped with NO information, the Microsoft program that comes with the PC does not come with the necessary product code so you need to call it get it. Other than that, it is a great PC - we love it!

you can install it on how ever many computers you want...but the goodies are account bound. (P.S) I would highly recommend using the online downloader, the disks are SERIOUSLY outdated at this point.

the external cd/dvd player/burner is connected to the pc with 2 usb cables -one for power, the other for data. i have not tried to burn a cd, but i imagine you should be able to - why not? it IS a cd/dvd "burner." but i can not say, for sure.

There are so many ways to get around not having an external CD drive if you already have a desktop. 1. If you have a network at home, you could share the CD drive on the desktop. 2. If you don't have a network, use usb flash drive to copy the content from the CD using your desktop onto the flash drive. Then plug the flash drive to your new laptop and install your applications. 3. If you don't want to spend extra money to buy another gadget, do you have a digital camera? The memory card of the camera can be used as your usb hard drive. Plug the camera, copy the content from the CD to the camera card. Plug the camera to the new laptop. 4. You can upload and download the file to an online "hard-drive" 5. Easiest. Spend money on a usb dvd/cd or just CD drive. Hope that helps.

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

The easiest way is to get an external drive. You can also share a dvd/cd drive from a computer on the same network. I have not heard of connecting two computers together with a usb cable.

Thanks for the info, guys. I use Windows XP, plan on downloading well over 4GB in musical CDs, audiobooks, and mp3's, so, if I'm reading you right, I SHOULD reformat to NTFS. Is this correct? And thanks again for your help.

Hey Joshua, You would have to use an external USB CD drive, the unit does not have built in drivers.

You can use a exterior cd drive through the usb port, and that will work just the same as if you had the cd in your laptop or desktop.

I actually use my old PC to copy the installation files from the CD/DVD to a USB hard drive. I will then install from the hard drive. I agree that this computer should have a CD player given it size.
