Depends which one you buy but most of the time a NETbook doesnt.

An external drive can easily be bought but can be annoying to carry around with the netbook considering that the usual reason for buying one is that its small and compact.

NOTEbooks (aka laptops) generally do have one tho.

No. The majority of laptop computers are supplied with CD or DVD drives. Some, however, possess exactly no form of optical drive. Those are mostly the "netbook" PCs, such as the ASUS Eee PC - the optical drive is left out to decrease weight and price.

Most of them. It is typically netbooks, which are smaller and mainly for internet, that do not have CD/DVD drives.

Where is the CD drive on a NC10 Samsung laptop?

The Samsung NC10 does not include an optical drive of any kind. It is what is commonly called a "netbook", a trend started by Asus with the Eee PC line. The vast majority of these do not include a CD drive so that they can have a longer battery life and more compact size. You can access CD programs by sharing a drive over a network or connecting an external USB CD/DVD ROM drive.


If i have a netbook computer that doesnt have a DVD drive can i connect it to another computer and install from the second computers DVD drive onto the netbook?

The answer to this depends on the type of software you're trying to install. The easiest solution would be to download the software you want, if that's possible. If you have to install it from a disc, then the next easiest way to do it would be to use a USB CD/DVD drive which you connect to your netbook. You can use a remote computer's drive as well through the network, if you're using Windows for example you can set the remote computer's drive to shared, and then use Windows' "map network drive" feature on your netbook. This would allow you to access the remote drive as a drive letter on your netbook as if it was actually attached to your computer. Be aware though that this is much slower and will only work for certain types of software.
