| | Can't read physical CD without rebooting host Hi All, I'm running MS Virtual Server 2005 on a Vista SP1 host. Switching to (or between isos) works as expected and the VMs can read the CD image. But when I switch from an iso back to a physical drive or change the CD in the drive, none of the VMs are able to read the CD. It doesn't matter if the guest OS is running, or just trying to boot the VM from the CD - Still can't read it. rebooting the Host fixes the problem, and the VMs are able to read the CD drive again, until I make another change. Anyone know what's going wrong? |

If I change it to an ISO, then it works fine. |
