Is there any possible way of configuring my Virtual Windows 7 to use my Macbook Pro's NVIDIA graphics card as its own? I've been wondering about this and I'm not sure how to work it. Also after inserting a disk into the drive, can I use that IN my virtual machine as well? I'm new to this and apologize for my ineptness.

Your guest can not use the hosts graphics adapter directly. You must install the guest additions (in the guest) and install the WDDM drivers to get the best performance.
You can use the hosts CD/DVD in the guest. You may find it necessary to set the passthrough to on in the guest settings.

Before you have any more questions, I suggest you read both the
User Manual and
VirtualBox FAQ. That should cover a lot.

I swear they should make a "Virtualbox for absolute morons" for people like me.
