Hi again,

Trying to install windows 7 from the DVD, I keep getting the following
error:

--------------------------
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows7.

Cannot open host device '/dev/cd0' for readonly access. Check the permissions 
of that device (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
--------------------

And:

$ ls -l /dev/cd0 /dev/xpt0 /dev/pass0
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0, 112 Apr  7 17:08 /dev/cd0
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0, 108 Apr  7 17:08 /dev/pass0
crw-rw----  1 root  operator    0,  76 Apr  7 17:08 /dev/xpt0

$ id
uid=103(sdb) gid=20(staff) 
groups=20(staff),0(wheel),5(operator),32(texuser),920(vboxusers)

So there should not be a permission problem.  The DVD drive is fine,
and the DVD is fine.

I can't use "mount_udf" to mount it on FreeBSD, not sure why, but I
can read it on a windows machine.  However, I can mount other UDF
discs.

Thanks for any help,
Scott
