Running shows from discs

[santojmezzaroba]

I own a portable PC purchased from MTU. I have never used it for a shows.
The CD-DVD rom is a Plextor PX-712A. I have Hoster 3.300 on this portable.
Is this unit capable of playing a disc which has not been imported into the hard drive. Say a singer wishes to sing off their own disc.
I have a second computer which is not portable and I use it to back up My discs. It also has Hoster 3.300 installed. I have Microstudio installed on this unit
and use the play tab to play discs. Do I need Microstudio on the portable to be able to play from a disc. Is the PX-712A capable of playing from a disc.
By the way, I didn't see a section for help with a portable PC so I posted under
Hoster help.
