I'm experiencing exactly the same thing. When I attach my superdrive to Mac OS it works just fine, in fact I can access files on the drive by sharing the folders. But, when I attach to my Windows 7 x64 VM I can see the drive there, drivers install, but it won't let me insert a disk. I attempted to install the Apple support bootcamp stuff per instructions here: Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 following links suggested in other post, but this failed and said "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". Unfortunately, I am not running this Windows installation under boot camp -- I wanted to be able to easily adjust the amount of disk that Windows is using and I didn't see a good way to do that under boot camp. Has anybody come up with a solution to this problem? UPDATE: I stumbled upon a solution, I inserted the disk while the drive was attached to Mac OS, then I attached the drive to my Windows VM. It ejected the disk, installed a driver, and then I was able to re-insert the disk and everything seems to be working fine. I can only guess that WIndows was able to install the correct driver when there was a disk present in the drive.
