Setting Up DVD or CD Sharing

You can partner your MacBook Air with another Mac or Windows computer that has an optical disc drive and is on the same wired or wireless network. Use this other computer to:

ÂMigrate information to your MacBook Air, if the other computer is a Mac (see “Migrating Information to Your MacBook Air” on page 16)

ÂShare the contents of DVDs or CDs or install applications (see “Sharing Discs with DVD or CD Sharing” on page 19)

ÂRemotely install Mac OS X (see “Reinstalling Software Using Remote Install Mac OS X” on page 44) or use Disk Utility (see “Using Disk Utility” on page 48)

The computer with the optical drive can be a Mac with Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later, or a Windows XP or Windows Vista computer. If the Mac has Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later, DVD or CD Sharing is already installed. You can partner with more than one other computer.
