A computer system including a display to display an image; an audio outputter to output a sound; a system main body to output audio and/or video signals to the audio outputter and the display, respectively; an optical disk drive to reproduce audio and/or video signals recorded in an optical disk; a drive reproducer to convert audio and/or video signals reproduced by the optical disk drive into audio and/or video signals that are processed by the audio outputter and the display, respectively, and to output the converted audio and/or video signals to the audio outputter and the display, respectively The computer system further includes an audio/video signal switch to allow the audio and/or video signals reproduced by the optical disk drive to be selectively transmitted to one of the system main body and the drive reproducer; a power supply to supply electric power to the system main body and the drive reproducer; and a power switching part to allow electric power to be selectively supplied to one of the system main body and the drive reproducer. Thus, the present invention provides a computer system via which an optical disk such as the DVD is played by an optical disk drive such the DVD drive without booting the system.
