If you recently needed to replace a laptop, you likely discovered that built in DVD or CD players seem to be a thing of the past, and any software on disks that you own can't be installed. We recently ran into this as well and found a workable hack that we'll cover in this short video. So, do this -- it works!
The only caveat here is that you will need access to a working CD/DVD drive. This one still works on the old laptop.
Also, if you need an extra USB port, follow along...
Look for more video help generally with automotive issues here on RU-vid or get text and image help at DashboardSymbols.com. And if you see the "Thanks" button below the video, please lend your support to our efforts.

You sir, are a genius! Thank you for a clear and succinct video. I waited until it actually worked before posting a comment and i can confirm this works, I didn't need to run the .exe, it worked automatically. I used a external hard drive as opposed to a USB stick but it worked perfectly. Thank you :)😍

Thanks for this, I just bought MFS2020 and my old laptop still has a drive. It's almost 80GB of data to copy but it's better than buying an external drive. I was already trying to do this but now I know that it'll work. Thanks again!

PC's and laptops without cdrom drives are stupid! A cdrom is not just for music games or software! I have photos pictures invoices receipts documents and other things stored on CD discs. How can I access them if my computer doesn't have a cdrom drive? The DVD player should of course be located in the end of the monitor.

If you're actually asking, you can get a CD/DVD player that will connect via USB. And I agree -- what's issue with including it with the machine??

@DashboardSymbols
@DashboardSymbols 2 года назад
There's only one reason why not -- a floppy disk reader. You'd need to find one first if you don't have one, and you could copy directly to the USB!!

I presume you're asking about the exe file, yes? I would first look for it specifically on the disk. It may turn out to be invisible -- precisely to stop the type of copy over we're trying to do. Some companies are more adept at this than others, but give the disk a full look...

Did not work for me. The problem is I have a two disk program. All worked fine until the installer asked for the #2 disk. Even though the #2 files were one the flash drive, nothing I tried made the installer go forward. Anyone have an idea?
@DashboardSymbols
@DashboardSymbols Год назад
An interesting question. It would seem one of the files in #2 would be an exe or something similar. Perhaps that could be run??

omg i never thought about programs lol.. wtf. i do have mine on hard drive so it's fine. but too old to use, I think. based on using it now.. it has updates I can't do, anymore. what I like is copying all my cd's so it's on computer / laptop. And making an extra copy of the cd, to keep or use and keeping the original one, in good condition. omg what will I do now if I can't get a new one with, as I am looking for one, in a few month. I 100% hate this. 100%. What on earth are they thinking, that people will monthly pay for these things? I purchased one of the last version of Word that was available (under $150) and still using it. I prefer to purchased it for it and not pay monthly. Everything I use and files I have, I won't be able to open, soon. They can stick that monthly fee up their a$$. kids and their spoifity are ruining my life LOL .. and if you do picture with camera, i prefer the disk drive. it is getting way, way to expensive to do these things as a fun thing.
