Hi
I'm trying to establish whether I can access the CD/DVD writing capabilities on my host machine through VMware Player. The inbuilt XP burning options aren't visible. When I tried installing CD writing software in the VM and telling it to erase a CD-RW VMware Player displayed a message about the software sending an un-supported command and that I should try not running with legacy support. I can't find any options or documentation about turning on or off legacy support.
I'm running VMware Player 1.0.3 at the moment. Is this something that has been introduced in v2? Or is it just not possible?
The VM is XP Pro, as is the host. Both 32 bit.
I don't have any problems reading from the CD/DVD drive on the host, but can't write.
The ide section of my vmx file looks like this:
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.autodetect = "TRUE"
ide0:0.filename = "auto detect"
ide0:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom"
Can I change atapi-cdrom to something else, or auto detect?
