Sharing optical drives<br />
Although your computer may not have an integrated optical drive, you can access software and data,<br />
and install applications, by sharing an optical drive connected to another computer in your network.<br />
Sharing drives is a feature of the Windows operating system that allows a drive on one computer to<br />
be accessible to other computers on the same network.<br />
NOTE: You must have a network set up in order to share an optical drive; see Networking (select<br />
models only) on page 2 for additional information on setting up a network.<br />
NOTE: Some discs, such as DVD movies and game discs, may be copy-protected and therefore<br />
unusable through DVD or CD drive sharing.<br />
To share an optical drive:<br />
1. From the computer with the optical drive you are sharing, select Start > Computer.<br />
2. Right-click the optical drive you want to share, and click Properties.<br />
3. Click the Sharing tab, and then click Advanced Sharing.<br />
4. Select the Share this folder check box.<br />
5. Type a name for the optical drive in the Share name text box.<br />
6. Click Apply, and then click OK.<br />
7. To view the shared optical drive, select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet ><br />

Using RAID (select models only)<br />
Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID) technology allows a computer to use two or more<br />
hard disks at the same time. RAID treats multiple drives as one contiguous drive, either through<br />
hardware or software settings. If multiple disks are set up to work together in this fashion, they are<br />
referred to as a RAID array.<br />
For additional information about RAID, see the RAID User <strong>Guide</strong> located in Help and Support or see<br />
the <strong>HP</strong> website at http://www.hp.com/support.<br />
