VMWare Workstation can't read CD/DVD drive
- by Chris W
A fresh install of VMWare Workstation 7 (7.1.1 build 282343) on Windows 7 64 bit.
When I try to read a CD/DVD from a guest (either to install a fresh guest or to read a CD within an existing VM I get the following error: Cannot connect virtual device ide1:0 because no corresponding device is available on the host.
I've tried fiddling with the IDE channels as well as tried SCSI with no joy. What am I missing?
I can run ISOs fine but I don't want to have to convert everything to an ISO when I presume that this should just work fine.
