Hi VBox Team: Many thanks for all your work to get VBox running on FreeBSD. I am trying to use a program called Rosetta Stone on WinXP, but I am having trouble with the DVD drive. I was able to install the application from the CD. However, the way the program works I need to access a disk in the DVD drive that has data the program needs.

In the window there is a button that says Run Rosetta Stone. When I click on the Run button, I get a error window "Cannot locate the DVD-ROM". The message in the window says "Please insert the correct DVD-ROM, and restart application". So, the problem is that I cannot read from the DVD drive inside a WinXP VM. Any advice would be really appreciated.
