Hello,
XP PRO host
XP Pro guest

I have only one DVD/CDROM drive in my system. It works fine in host, however
in guest the DVD/CDROM icon is accessible (visible) but when trying to
run/open/explore disk the response is: "Insert disk in drive:"
Also, I was unable to install guest using bootable CD disk (disk was ignored
completely) so I created the iso file from it and installed it that way. I
believe it is a part of the same problem.
When I uncheck in Settings CD/DVD drive "Attach CD or DVD drive to secondary
IDE controller" the guest will not boot.
What can be wrong?
Jack
