I disagree inthinknit is good as is, inlike seeing all the steps, a simple before and after lacks instructional value.

Thanks for all the great comments. Its nice to know that some folks are getting some help from this video. When you purchase one of the netbooks or minis that doesn't include an optical drive, your best bet is to either use an external USB 2.0 optical drive (available from PowerBrixx and others for somewhere around $40 to $50) or network to another computer with a drive and install your software and copy music from there. Hope this helps.

I have a recent version of a dell inspiron computer that came with no cd/dvd drive. would I be able to install it on to my laptop?

Good video and great advice, but needs some editing to shorten down. We don't need to see you take out or reinstall every single screw, especially considering we won't always have the same screw layout. Otherwise the video is very informative and useful. Thanks again!

There are enough people who dont know how it works..

So this video is very useful. It helped me as well.

Thanks PowerBrixx!

@silver90 I'm not saying it's a bad video, nor is it informative, I'm just saying it was a bit long. There are enough people who don't have the attention span to watch someone do all that work. A simple before and after picture or cutaway would do the job nicely, both by shortening it down and still keeping it informative enough that anyone could figure it out

Not that easy on many - some you have to pull the keyboard bezel then the keyboard and the screw or screws for the optical drive is under the keyboard. Some opticals also have an adapter in the connector, dont forget to swap that over from the old drive as well.
