You need to make sure Mount CD/DVD Drive is ticked and Host CD/DVD Drive is selected, this will give you a drop down list of any CD/DVD drives. There should be a tickbox underneath that to Enable Passthrough, make sure this is ticked too.
Then boot into the virtual machine and whatever CD?DVD burning software you use *should* detect the drive as a DVD/CD writer and allow you to burn discs. Bear in mind that this is on the non-free Virtualbox from their web site and not the open source version (VirtualBox OSE) which is in the repositories so there is a chance you may not get these options. Anyway, hope this helps. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
