Nope ... not gonna happen.
CD's and DVD's are recorded differently, a CD drive will not read a DVD even though a DVD drive will read a CD.

Everyone is right, except the guy who said they are not cheap, you can get a DVD drive for around $35. Got to newegg.com.

One way you could do it would be to purchase an external dvd drive and connect that (through a usb port) to your computer. Using just the current configuration, no.

there is no way for u to watch DVD movies that u rent or buy
BUT
u can watch movies if u burn them urself
they have to be
# 1.....under 700mb....if the movie is over 700 mb..it will not fit on the cd
# 2u have to use something like nero..or sonic to burn movie as data....make a data cd
# 3 u have to have CODECS here are the 2 u will need
the first one is for audio..download...ac3 filter.exe
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66022&package_id=63808
this next one is for video
http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/
they are both free
here is a good site to download from
search for axxo
http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=axxo
in order to download these movies u will need
bitcomet
http://www.filehippo.com/download_bitcomet/
once u have them downloaded...all movies will go to
c/downloads
start..double click my computer..click downloads..there are movies or what ever u download
or u can burn and watch
bin/cue files

No. But i'd recomend buying and properly installing one! Theres multiple websites where you can download movies to write onto empty CD's and watch on your PC.

yes, it is possible, however, you would have to buy either an internal or external dvd drive and they aren't cheap.
