Also, I'm not sure if you understood my question. When I pass in the DVD device into the VM it registers as a blank DVD. if I pass in a non-existant folder it blows up, so I know it's reading something from the real DVD drive. Mounting the real DVD drive in the bare-metal machine shows the files on the drive, but I cannot get them to appear in the VM. How do I get the same files to show up in the VM (i.e. mount the DVD drive into the VM)?</div><div><br></div></div></div><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">-----------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><b><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#8C000E">Adam Mooz</font></b><br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#929292"><i><a href="mailto:Adam.Mooz@gmail.com">Adam.Mooz@gmail.com</a><br></i><i><a href="mailto:AdamMooz@me.com">AdamMooz@me.com</a></i></font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#929292"><i><br></i></font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#929292"><a href="http://www.AdamMooz.com">http://www.AdamMooz.com</a></font></div></div><br></body></html>
