Vista - My VPC will no longer read discs

10-22-2008

My Virtual PC for Mac V7 used to work just fine, but somewhere along the
line I must have messed about with my settings.
Now when I insert a disc into the drive, it no longer loads.
When I go to 'My Computer' and try to open the drive I get a message saying
that windows can't open the disc and that maybe the disc is corrupt.
In order to get the disc to work, I have to copy it from the Mac to the
Virtual PC, which can get tiresome at times.
Can anyone help me here?

This newsgroup is for the PC version of Virtual PC -- you want to ask
this in the Mac newsgroup instead. microsoft.public.mac.virtualpc
