Hi rox09
Well you can rip your DVD to any external drive using and third party DVD ripping software ,once you do that you will get a AVI,MPEG and any common fomats your DVD player supports

Inorder to play those files in your DVD player ,you need the check whether your DVD has a USB input port or else if you laptop or computer has a S-video out put and your TV has S-Video input ;you can play directly from your laptop/computer to the TV using a S-video Cable which is available in any Computer shop.
I hope this helps

that's right. You can use external DVDRW drive and you must enter your DVD driver (usually you get it after you buy eeepc) into external. Cause your DVD driver include driver for eeepc and recovery windows for your laptop, just in case, your laptop get some crash on several software and get into factory default setting.

Take the battery out, leave it unplugged for a day or so... usually resets the bios for me. Sometimes though, you might have to manually unplug the cmos battery as well, that involves opening the system.

SOURCE: My Asus X83V will not boot to any CD/DVD, HDD/SSD, and/or USB/Removable Device/drive.

When you power the laptop on pay close attention to the screen to see which key you hit to get into the Bios or System Setup. Hit it and go change the boot sequence to read the CD drive first. Or you can hit the key that says Change Boot Order when you initially turn the computer on and select the CD Drive.

If you can get it to read the CD drive then you can try the Check Disk Utility.
]
To run the check disk utility you will need a repair disc or a operating system disc. Put the disc in the cd drive and boot from it. You want to get to the Dos Command Prompt (Black screen with white letters) and type the following command: chkdsk /r

Check disk will run well over an hour or two and you will notice the percentages going from high to low, this is normal. Let it run to completion. Then reboot machine.

If check disk fails to solve your problem you might have to reinstall windows. Try doing a Repair Install that way you don't loose your data, documents, music, pictures, videos or programs.

In windows xp you get to the dos command prompt by selecting R for repair when the options appear.

In Vista and Windows 7 you want to get to the recovery console and look down at the bottom of the window for the Dos Command.
If you can't get it to read any drive then you might have to do a System Recovery back to factory settings.
