Can't burn CD's or DVD"S in Win XP Guest

Post by raceware »

I have Virtual Box 4.0 installed using Win XP as the guest OS on my Host Dell Win 7 64 Bit system. I have my Host D: recognized as far as reading CDs but it won't burn Cd's or DVDs and my writer is capable of both. What am I over looking
to be able to burn Cd's & DVDs in Virtual box?

Thanks,
Raceware :oops:

Turn passthrough on in the guest settings for the CD/DVD
