I don't have DVD or CD Sharing in my MacBook Air

[DetroitBORG]

@JOHUAJHOn You enable the feature on other computers, not the MacBook Air since it doesn't have the drive.

How can I use Remote Disk if the Macbook Air is booted in Windows 7?

[DetroitBORG]

@sunderhoeksema You would use the Windows equivalent since you are operating in their environment now.

@JigglesJingle Glad you have yourself convinced you have a better computer than a Mac.

Everything shows up when I try to download Microsoft Office, and my Macbook has all the requirements needed to download it, but for some reason the installer quits when I'm downloading the software. Any ideas on how to fix this?

So i bought a new mac mini without the ability to run dvd etc etc. Can i use my old mac mini to dvd and cd share? I do everything right but it won't show up on my remote disk. Any leads?
