Hi Alex, I'm pretty sure that you can't use remote disc sharing on a Windows machine if haven't installed additional software to enable this, even if the drive is visible from your Mac. Did you read the Apple Documentation? Here's the link to the knowledge base article: • DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287 There are also links to "Instructions for DVD or CD Sharing and Remote Disc" on that web page.
I think the software download can be found from the Apple knowledge base support web site: • DVD or CD Sharing Update 1.0 for Windows http://support.apple.com/kb/DL112 That web page also has a link to the MacBook Air User's Guide where you can read up on remote DVD and CD sharing. I've never tried sharing CD/DVD resources with a Windows machine, but from past memory of doing network sharing you have to set things up. HTH.
