Fusion 1 and burning a CD

[synapco]

In the past I was able to burn my CDs from OS X even with Fusion open. Now when I insert a CD to burn it (while having the OS X desktop active) the CD starts in Fusion?? Anyone else have this problem?

Other than this problem - Fusion 1 appears to be faster (at least for me) and more responsive. Very excellent version 1.

Your viutual machine probably has control of the optical drive (glowing blue CD icon). Click it and select "Disconnect CD/DVD" to be able to use CDs in OS X.

Same behavior here.

You can disconnect the cdrom drive from the Virtual Machine by going to the Virtual Machine menu and scrolling down to cd/dvd and disconnecting the drive. You can also go into the Virtual Machine settings while the Virtual Machine is powere down and uncheck the connect box. With this setting the drive will not automatically connect in the future and you can use the menu I mentioned first to connect it when you want the cdrom to show up in the Virtual Machine.

Yes, works just as you described.
