For the first time, I need to mount both CD/DVD-ROM and

both to be mounted.

  Could someone clarify the situation, please?

   Is it possible to use both drives, e.g. to copy a DVD?

Seems the core question was not yet answered clearly in this thread.  ;-)

No, you cannot use several CD devices at the same time in the guest,
VirtualBox provides only *one* virtual CD drive.

So in the guest a CD/DVD copy is only possible in two separate steps: First copy the CD/DVD to an image file on disk and then copy this image file back to the writable CD/DVD.

Like anonother poster mentioned it, I ususally do something like this also direct on my (Linux) host system. ;-)
