CDRW Problems, XP & Snow Leopard, & Can VB Run BootCamp ?

Post by TableSyrup »

Windows XP 32 Bit on Snow Leopard

Q1) Can VB run a Bootcamp install ?? (I feel like this may resolve my issue.

Q2) I have Passthrough enabled and my drive shows properly, but does not function properly in XP
If I put in a blank, or even just double click the drive in XP, it gives me a media error

I am trying to run Sony CD Architect, and everthing in it works but the CDRW. It shows, but crashes when attempting to burn.

Any help would be appreciated.

(Sorry about the wrong subforum, wasn't sure which was best)

As far as Q1 goes, check out "Board index ‹ General ‹ Howtos and Tutorials ‹ Other Hosts . How to Use a MacOS Bootcamp Partition as a VirtualBox Guest". I was able to gets a bootcamp XP guest to work by following this procedure. My Mac is running Lion, but except for the extra recovery partition, it should be about the same.
