Forget about the cables, the master/slave scenario. it doesn't apply to a laptop.

The program sounds like a really neat idea but I'm not entirely sure the disk is bootable. The idea of the program is to use a computer as a media player without having to boot windows, ergo Linux platform. It's possible you may have to install linux on the drive first. it makes no sense that the program would run from a bootable cd. it's obviously meant to be installed on a hard drive, the press releases alluded to a windows version being worked on. Everything seems to point to installing linux, then running the program's setup in linux. I could be wrong
