I have a netbook that I want to put some digital copies on but I dont have an external dvd drive to put the disc in. Is there anyway I can use my desktop to put the movie on a portable hard drive and then transfer it to my netbook? Or is the only way to do it with an external dvd drive?

Answer
Backup DVD or Copy DVD I always use this DVD Copy software. It copies personal home video in the original quality.
I download the software from:

Is it safe to take a desktop computer on a plane as a carry-on item?

I own an Alienware X51 and it is very small and portable (slightly taller than an Xbox 360 with similar width and length for comparison). Thus I can easily carry it in a medium sized backpack, however there are three things I am worried about:

A) Will I be prohibited from taking it on the plane by TSA? I know laptops are not an issue but would a desktop in the x-ray machine pose as threatening as it is somewhat uncommon?

B) Assuming the plane ride itself is relatively smooth, how easy is it to damage the components of the computer? I am planning on wrapping it in padding before placing it in the bag. I'm worried about small bumps and turbulence resulting in baggage colliding and my internal hard drive and other components being damaged.

C) If TSA says I must place the computer in the cargo hold, how prone is it to damage assuming I wrap it well and provide plenty of padding inside a suitcase?

Answer
Desktops are fine in carry on luggage assuming it's within your airline's carry on allowance. At the TSA checkpoint, you will be required to place it in a separate bin for x-ray (like a laptop) where it will be x-rayed and cleared to go.

Since you will be the only one handling your computer, how safe it travels is up to you. Don't even think about checking it in if you want it back in one piece.
