    Is there an application for the W3J that lets you play a DVD without loading the OS?

    Well I guess there 'could be' as I know that some newer HP notebooks have this feature. Its installed on the 'recovery' partition (friend found that out after deleting the 6GB!!! recovery partition)

    Someone around here mentioned the name of the company that makes the software, cant remember... but I'm sure google will help you

    It's also 'programed' into the BIOs as well, if I recall, for the quickload.
