What's going wrong with how you're using them? Images or actual disks?

You didn't answer the question about whether you are using physical discs or images.

In either case, you will have to assign them to the vm from the vm's settings to see them from the guest OS. Just putting a disc in the host's drive doesn't make it available to the guest.
