How to install a digital copy onto a netbook? - Blu-ray Forum

nugent · 03-01-2010, 06:30 AM

Never used any of my digital copies before but have a long flight coming up and figured I would load some onto my Windows XP based netbook.

As is typical there is not DVD drive on this netbook.

Just realized I have no idea what the easiest way to transfer this?

Update: Figured it out. Just copied the digital copy for PC to a flash drive.
Copied the .wmv file for PC version to the netbook
Entered code and good to go!

The only way that I can see is to use a friends external usb dvd drive temporarily to install the movie to the hard drive. I have never tried to install a digital copy to flash drive though.

Good Luck!
