Virtual machine won't find CD in drive

Postby kiwicow » 6. Mar 2012, 05:23
I am a newbie here. I am running virtualbox to have a Windows 7 virtual machine on my Macbook Pro.

I set it up on my IMac with no problems, but for some reason the machine I've got set up on Macbook does not recognize that there's a CD in the CD drive. This means that I can't install any of my software because it can't find the CD. Is there some setting I should change? I have tried inserting and reinserting the CD, restarting both the virtual machine and the laptop, and it still thinks there is no CD in the drive.

Help?
