  • 1.  How to decide whether Win or Mac OSX sees the CD?

    Posted Apr 20, 2010 09:12 PM

    I was wondering how to control whether the host (Mac OS X 10.6.3) or guest (Win 7) sees a CD that I put into my MacBook Pro? For instance, I put in a music CD just now, and Windows Media Player came up automatically, but I'd rather play it under iTunes on the Mac side. How can I control which side of the system sees media I put into it, whether it's a CD, DVD, flash drive, or whatever?

    In VMWare Fusion, Virtual Machine menu, CD?DVD, Disconnect CD/DVD. (or USB device.)

    With default settings, it's whoever is in front when you insert the CD. You can change who has the CD by going to Virtual Machine > CD/DVD > Connect CD/DVD (or Disconnect CD/DVD).

    Thanks, folks. That did it. I can't believe I missed that, as I thought I'd scoured the menus. Thanks again.
