CD-R/CD-RW Drive Support in Virtual PC (824592)

MORE INFORMATION

Virtual machines cannot write data to the Macintosh host computer's CD-R/CD-RW drive. Virtual machines use these drives as CD-ROM drives only.

Some external CD-R/CD-RW drives require that the Toast CD extension be installed on the Macintosh host computer for the CD-R/CD-RW drive to work on the Macintosh computer. This extension is installed by Toast, a product of Roxio, Inc. CD-R/CD-RW drives that use this extension are not accessible as CD-ROM drives in a virtual machine.
