Guest Won't Read Newer CDs

Post by SteveGG »

With older discs, such as older program installation or data file discs, there's NO problem. Something is wrong with newer discs. If I try to access these I either get an error or the disc shows 100% used space. These same discs in the same drive are OK with the Host. Please help & thanks. :(

CD-ROMs are read only, that's what "ROM" means. So, they'll always show as full.

No-one else is reporting CD reading issues. But, you still might find ISO images of same more reliable.
