I've not worked much with DVDs and/or Parallels with Debian on OS/X, but I have tinkered with USB sticks and VirtualBox, and it's been my experience that I have to eject the USB stick from the OS/X side (right-click, Eject, from the Finder's Desktop), and then use the VBox menus to mount the USB stick so that Debian can then see it. (In other words, VBox can't "see" an OS/X-mounted USB stick; it has to be unmounted from OS/X before VBox can see it as mountable to its guest OS.) I also vaguely recall that if you don't tell VBox to mount it fairly quickly (30 seconds?) after ejecting it from OS/X, OS/X will then remount it and make it once again unavailable to VBox. -- Kent West <")))>< Westing Peacefully - http://kentwest.blogspot.com
