Add a new computer - no CD drive

I just got a new work computer and want to access my files on My Book Live.  The computer doesn’t have a CD drive.  How do I enable it to access files on my networked external drive?

Note, the drive is already set up on my personal computer, which does have a CD drive.

Can you copy the content of the CD to a flash drive?

Why not accessing the MBL using its IP address? o.o

Regards,

What do you need the cd drive for? If you are connected to your network you should be able to see the MBL under your network places.

Agree with RichUK.   However, if you insist that you DO need the CD Software, you can download it here:
