Err.. you can download it and validate with key I think

But if I use the key, then the copy I have is defunct. Without another key. >.<! I am torn, cause it is a good idea.

How is it defunct? The CD you have came with a key to use the product. The file there is downloadable and you install it that way rather than disk.

Yes, but using the CD key makes that copy, that physical copy no loner useable without the purchase of another key? Regardless,it's something to do if I can't get the external R/W drive. Secondary motives. >.> And thank you again for the link!

The key is reusable, up to two machines can use that key at any one time. But since it's mac it will onlybinstall on macs.

Let me know and I'll send over a drive.

You will not find super high speed drives in an external format. Mostly due to limitations inherent with the design of the enclosures and power constraints with USB in the mix. Double check your email honey. I sent you some good tips for hunting. The photos of the device I sent you is my personal external USB drive that's over 3 years old and still going strong. It will read CD-ROM at 50x, write at 40x, burn DVDs in dual layer (ROM-9) at 8x, DVD ram at 6x, reads DVD back at about 12x. Can't go wrong wth it for $35 Walmart money.

There are Lightscribe versions available but a sharpie marker is more permanent, or printed label and using a CD-ROM stomper.

Money no object? Save up for a Plextor external. Certainly save up for a Mac drive if you want it bulletproof, but the value and better warranty is on a PC/Mac compatible 3rd party device. Read box labeled to assure compatibility, and if using o/s 8.4 or later? Skip using the install CD at all costs. I *think* you have El-Capitan on your new Mac? Just plug in the gizmo and burn, baby. Burn! Disc management and burning is built in. The software disc with the trial ware usually packed in the boxes is for old, deprecated OS releases and installing it will cause nothing but headaches!

Good luck, sweetie - call/text me if you're seriously binded up.
