Is it possible to use/read/write my host machine's DVD drive or to I have to create an image (.iso) and mount it for each CD or DVD that I want to use? I ask because I have a CD that I need to load into the XP guest but I can not see the CD/DVD drive when I go to Window's Explorer nor does the .exe on the disc automatically launch within the Win XP Guest.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 as the host.

Thanks in advance for help.

I just figured it out. I unchecked the "Enable pass through..." box in the VirtualBox options window and it began working.

Solved!

That's a known bug of 2.1.0. Should be fixed in the next release.

Solved > locked . Keeps it clean.
