I am looking for a mini computer that I can run a recipe CD/dvd off of. I have to be able to hook it up to my under cabinet tv in the kitchen. I dont see anywhere to load a cd or dvd

No, this has no DVD/CD drive. Most people don't need one. You would need an external CD drive, or a different system that included an internal cd/dvd drive to do what you're describing.

I bought this for my Dad, who has a mac mini. It was certainly not the easiest thing to install. We did have to download (from the 'net) a driver for this to work. So, no, you don't need a CD drive, but you DO need the internet

Have a hard drive disk and a multi card disk drive. Don't have a cd/dvd disk drive. Need to buy an external usb unit. I buy a original hp for 45$.

1) You must use an external DVD drive. There are many on the market including some portable USB-powered ones. 2) Yes. I hope this helps you in making your decision.

Do you mean the software to run the cdrom? or are you trying to copy a software to your computer, like cd to pc? The DVD ROM is plug and play with Windows OS. We had it on windows 7, though it needed two usb ports to power. If you are trying to copy a cd on to a pc, then it would depend on the software copyright. A music cd, you can rip using windows media player. A movie, probably not. A program, maybe, depending on if you can grab everything into a folder. Let me know if you need assistance,Thanks,Kevin

You'll need a power supply, motherboard, processor, memory, and hard drive at the bare minimum. You should also pick up a CD/DVD drive and video card as well.

Copy the software from the CD to a flash drive and the plug the flash drive into the ASUS and youre good to go. Works for me.I also purchase a little slim CD/DVD burner on ebay for about 46 bux. it plugs into two of the usb points, one for data and one for power. It's about 1/2" thick and just a little bigger the a CD.

A powered USB hub could be used to provide power to it. You need one that supports high speed (not just "full" speed) and 2A of current capability should take care of whatever you might plug into it.Unfortunately such a hub will cost close to the price of this DVD burner. Even so, you might want to buy one anyway as all devices like this will strain the capabilities of some laptops.

Hi,There is no remote and it is not a standardized DVD Player to connect to tv or monitor. As everyone else are pointing out earlier, this is an optical drive to be install internally for desktop PC. Let's point out the simple thing, this is considered a computer optical drive, where we think you are looking for a DVD player. We know this optical drive is much cheaper, but it would not suit on what you may be looking for in terms of a simple dvd player or portable disc player. Good luck!

No, you can plug it directly into a Local Area Network, use it with USB Sticks, USB-based external hard drives, external USB-based keyboard/mouse. I don't have a USB-based external cd-rom but I would not be surprised if it would work. The printer support is limited to portable printers that you would normally take with you (battery powered etc). I moderate a Yahoo group on this subject. Tom M.

You will need a potable cd drive. I have a potable cd drive to watch my movies. You could buy one for like $20-50 depending on the brand on amazon.

Dear E. Hamilton, good morning. I confess you this All-in-one was a big disappointment for me, because I expected a quick and efficient machine and it wasn't what I found. It does not read blu-ray and the dvd/ cd burner stopped working since the beginnig. I do not recommend it for you. Best regards, Edney

A CD/DVD drive is not included. You can plug in an external drive if needed. A good example is here: ASUS External Slim 8X DVD-RW Stylish Cut Design Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U/BLK/G/AS .Most PCs don't come with a good webcam+ microphone but this Vizio does. So, maybe you can justify spending $25 or $30 for an external DVD/CD drive IF you really need one!

You can go to a site like Download dotCom and get a DVD player software...like VLC Media player or Easy, etc.

You can get an external dvd drive that you can hook up -- they are pretty cheap these days. Ofcourse, you could use another machine that has a drive and put it on drop box.

you can buy a cd rom at any computer and connect it to the hdmi!downloading cd's aren't used that much.
