 Notebook Upgrades: Optical Storage
Your older notebook may offer nothing more than a standard CD-ROM drive. Can 
you replace that CD-ROM with a DVD drive? The answer depends on your exact make 
and model, but often you can do so simply by unscrewing and removing the 
existing unit, dropping in the updated replacement, and perhaps updating the 
drivers. Things are even simpler if your notebook has a slot that accommodates 
a removable optical drive. If none of this applies to your notebook, however, 
consider an external DVD drive; these can be connected via USB and most will 
need to be plugged into a wall outlet.
