Hello.
I have a problem. I have virtualbox (last version) on my MACOSX and have Windows 7 on the virtual box.

The problem is, everytime i put a disk in my computer, it does only response on MACOSX and not my c-disk on my Virtualbox Windows 7.
If i put USB cable in my computer it does not response on virtualbox either - only in MACOSX.

What can i do to fix this problem?

Hi JesperKampmann,

I'm going to assume you have the Guest Additions installed on your Windows 7 guest. To turn over control of your CD/DVD drive to your guest navigate to the VirtualBox VM menu and look under the Devices/CD/DVD Devices menu. In this submenu, select your Host CD/DVD drive. I've included a picture to help you with this.

When you want to return control of your CD/DVD drive to your Mac OSX Host go to this same menu and select "Unmount CD/DVD Device".
