This all depends on your laptop. Some of them use a bay that is
hotswappable. This means that you can unplug the FDD and replace it
with the CDROM drive while the computer is running. You may need to
install the latest drivers for your computer in order to get this to
work. It may also be required to use the Remove Hardware Icon in the
System Tray to remove the FDD before you take it out of the computer to
put in the CD ROM.
