SUMMARY
This article discusses how your Virtual PC guest PCs work with CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM drives, and CD-ROM images (*.iso files) on your host PC.



MORE INFORMATION
When you insert a disc in a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive on your host PC, the guest PC that is running on the host PC automatically captures the disc. You can also capture a disc or disk image file (*.iso) manually. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to All Programs, click Connectix Virtual PC.
 * 2) Click the guest PC that you want to capture the disk or image on, and then click the Start Up button.
 * 3) Click CD on the menu bar, and then do one of the following:
 * 4) * Click Capture Host Drive :, where   is the letter of the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive that you want to capture.
 * 5) * Click Capture Image, and then find the .iso disk image file that you want to capture.
 * 6) Do one of the following:
 * 7) * Click Eject Host Drive to eject the disc from your host PC's CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive.
 * 8) * Click Release , where   is the name of the image file that you want to release, to release a disk image file.

Note The CD-ROM automatic play function will not work on your host PC when a guest PC is running.
