Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac - Apple Support


If you do not wish to see it in your MacBook Air's Finder Sidebar, position your cursor to the right of "Devices". A previously unseen "Hide" will appear. Select it.

It isn't anywhere. Just listed in the sidebar for access to a Remote Disc server. It is used to access a CD or DVD on a Mac with an optical drive from a newer Mac without one. See DVD or CD sharing- Using Remote Disc or Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks. You can also read more in Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac.
