Where do you insert the optical drive?

The front piece is a door that swings open. Drive bays are located behind it.

No optical drive, it does have USB 3.0 however. I think k you can get an external optical drive for pretty cheap on Amazon. This one looks like a good choicehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBV28TG?cache=3a045be90ec2006237e367be92fca0a1&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1405034895&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

Yes, there are several 5.25" bays in which you can install one. Behind the front door are removable blanks to expose them. Of course, I haven't had an optical drive now in... 3 years, but there's no reason why you can't have a couple!

If this is a relatively new computer with an up to date operating system, nothing other than using any disc that came with the drive and an open slot in the case for mounting. Windows should do the rest.

Most cases still have a floppy bay, this fits in the floppy bay, if you don't have one you will need to get a 3 1/4 to 5 1/4 bay adapter and put it in where you would put a optical (cd/dvd) drive. It plugs in to an extra USB multi-pin connector on the mother board.

It is supposed to come with it but in my case did not. It also did not come wuith the optical drive I ordered to be installed. Also 2 of the USB ports were inoperative.My suggestion is do NOT by this computer, it is junk.

Along the right-hand edge in the back. I had the second-party seller remove the DVD drive and swap in a 500GB solid-state drive, moving the 750GB hard drive to the DVD slot. It cost about another $200 but the speed is well worth it. Works great.

There is no optical drive on this unit. You would have to purchase an external. Yes, it does have USB 2.0 & 3.0 ports for an external.

There's a panel that opens on the bottom - the HDD just slides in there and should plug right in. easy peasy!

A standard optical drive is fine. If you have a very tall CPU heatsink AND a long drive there might be problems. I'm using the stock heatsink (3770k), somewhat tall RAM, and a standard sized blu-ray burner and everything fits just fine.

No, no optical drive at all and no space for one. I picked up a Samsung USB DVD drive for about thirty dollars on Amazon. That does the job and is very thin to match this laptop.

No.I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

External DVD drive would be the best option. Optical drives are atypical on lightweight ultrabooks.

There is no optical drive. This isn't my first computer with out one - I've gotten rid of all my cd's and now stream everything. I hope that helps.

A optical drive is dvd or cd rom that you connect threw a usb or docking station. The tc4200 does not have dvd or cd drive on the unit. So you would need a optical drive.

I am not sure how to do this. I rarely use the CD/DVD drive. If I do use it, it's only to look at a movie or listen to a CD. Sorry.
