| | Virtual server cannot see host cd player I have a problem with my virtual server 2005 R2 installation not being able to see the host's (windows xp sp2) cd\dvd rom drive. Consequently I cannot directly install any guest OSs. Does anyone have any ideas, I'm sure this is something really simple. Regards Mike |
