Although your computer does not have an integrated optical drive, you can easily access
software, install programs, and access information by sharing an optical drive connected to
another computer in your network. Drive sharing is a feature of the Windows operating
system that allows a drive on one computer to be accessible to other computers on the same
network.
✎
You must have a network set up in order to share an optical drive. Refer to Help and
Support for information on setting up a network.
✎
Some discs, such as DVD movies and game discs, may be copy-protected and therefore
unusable through DVD or CD sharing.
To share an optical drive:
1. From the computer with the optical drive you want to share, click Start, and then click
Computer.
2. Right-click the optical drive you want to share, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Sharing tab, and then click Advanced Sharing.
4. Select the Share this folder check box.
5. Type a name for the optical drive in Share name text box.
6. Click Apply, and then click OK.
7. To view the shared optical drive on your computer, click Start, click Control Panel,
click Network and Internet, and then click Network and Sharing Center.
