    Hi Guys

    noob question, how do you copy movies from dvd's onto to the hard drive of the M11x? I don't want to carry an external drive with me. Is there some software included with the system or some freeware available? I'm still waiting for my system to arrive but just doing some homework!

    Thanks

    Gerry

    You just need to download some DVD ripper software. There are many free ones that you can download. Just good DVD ripper and you should be good to go.

    Thanks for all of your help. I do know about Google (!) but always good to get users recommendations.
