My wife bought a mini computer Dell – using XP home. But it does not have a CD Rom drive. Can I install software from CD Rom by connecting this computer to another desktop machine and use the CD Rom drive in the desktop machine to install SW on to the laptop? I would like to avoid having to buy an external drive just for the use by this Dell mini computer. Apprec any help. If cable is required, pls advise type of cable I will need and how to connect. Or can I install across local LAN which we have. Tks. Reply to ralphchas@verizon.net.
