How can you get a DVD drive -for PC-DVDs- without getting a new computer?
buy a DVD drive and swap the one you have for the new one. make sure you buy the correct interface, IDE ATA or SATA. Best way to check is the opent he computer and look at the data cable going into the Cd drive, a flat ribbon like cable is IDE ATA, a slender cable is SATA, I highly doubt any computer with a CD drive would be SATA.

Are SATA drives USB drives?
SATA (Serial ATA) drives are normal drives that use the SATA interface when connecting to a PC. A SATA cable is used to bridge the gap between the drive and the computers motherboard and a separate cable is used to provide power to the drive.USB, in a similar way to SATA, refers to an interface. It is possible to use a USB cable to connect a SATA drive to a USB port but only if you use an appropriate SATA-USB adapter.Most, if not all, external hard-drive kits, which may be sold as 'USB hard-drives', will contain a SATA drive inside a drive caddy with a USB cable connecting it to the PC.
