Connecting Laptop to Desktop

Hi I hope someone can help................the DVD writer on my desktop packed up and seems to totally irrecoverable. I still have software that requires the CDROM or DVD to be in the drive yet it is not being read. One alternative would be to go out and buy an external portable drive which I will do when I can afford it, in the meantime however is there any way I can connect my Laptop in serial tomy desktop and utilise the drive on my laptop? The other reason I am hoping this is possible (and cheap) is that I want to store my music (can't rip CD's as the drive is shot!!) on the desktop for now as it has a much bigger hard drive than my laptop so I am hoping that there will be a single solution to both problems.

Many thanks in advance and Seasons Greetings
