    Here at my house the only form of internet we have is through a bluetooth dongle. Tommorow my new lappy should be arriving and I will need to instal the bluetooth software onto it so I can use the dongle. Catch is the software is on a mini cd and the laptop has a slot load drive. My question is this, how can I copy everything off of the bluetooth cd and copy it to a full size disc to use in my laptop so that when I load it in it will act as the install disc?

    Does your old laptop(or another computer in the house) have a cd burner/writer?

    Use IMGburn to make an iso(image) of the disk, and then burn it to a new full size disk.

    Also the manufacture of the bluetooth dongle should have the necessary drivers on their website. Download them in advance and put them on a usb drive or cd.

    Or just copy the contents off the cd, put it on a flashdrive and install it on your laptop.
