Hello, You would need to check with Acer availability of Windows drivers for this computer. Best regards, Amuras

For Vista, Windows 7, and 8 you wont need the disk. Xp I believe you do. If your cd/dvd drive cant read the disk you can try http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ or have a pro fix it.

Maybe you can download the drivers online, not sure you might need that disc or perhaps is there a way of copying the disc content onto a runable application on a hard drive.

Yes, but you will need DVD player software. Windows 8 doesn't come with DVD player software.

As long as the media is readable by the device/drive. I'm assuming it's a DVD-ROM, there shouldn't be an issue booting off a DVD with this drive. Just make sure to change your boot settings in your BIOS when your ready to install Windows. Make sure you have your data cables handy, but you will need special software to play blu-rays. Otherwise the drive will think it's a DVD

Dj, you can do this as long as you have an image on a USB drive or a windows 7 install disc available as well as a product key, of course.

Yes. However you will need a disc drive to install software and it is only windows XP/Vista/Windows7 compatible. Hope this helped.

Yes, you can use an external CD drive to install software. Are you using a computer without a CD drive?

It works with Window 7 on my computer. Although I would suggest not installing the software it comes with as I had a fatal crash after installing it. The unit works fine without the accompanying software, and I currently use the drive.

you need to buy a copy of windows. using an external disc drive you set the bios to boot from drive 'd' and the disc will instruct you how to load windows.

CD/DVD drive can not be installed in to the laptop. But, External slim DVD/RW drive can be purchased and connected through USB port, it works fine. I like this option as nowadays DVD/RW drive is rarely required and it can be kept aside.

Hi there...I think its hard to go windows7...of course we can do it but...I suggest to stick to the windows 8 better. but before you install...try to download factory recovery DVD first in case....If it is external..of course you can...anyway...good luck with your customization of your system.

You need to install a hard drive, the memory, and then drivers on the machine and then you will need to install an operating system - I highly suggest getting an external CD/DVD Drive.

If the interface and size are equivalent to a standard DVD/CD drive on a windows laptop than yes. I have only worked on Windows netbooks and laptops. Just get the dimensions for Asus dvd cdrw laptop drives and compare it to yours. That is the best info I can give you as the last one I installed was in that make of laptop.
