I'm using parallels 7 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 to run Windows 7. All worked well until recently. Now the CD drive has problems: Not Good: If Parallels is running and Parallels Devices>CD/DVD 1 menu shows a checkmark by the drive, Windows can't use the drive. Here's what happens: clicking the ^ keyboard button causes the drive to insert or eject a disc as it should, but after inserting a disc if I double-click that drive in Windows Explorer, Windows brings up a message "Insert a disc Please insert a disc into drive D:" and it then immediately ejects the disc. Good: If Parallels is not running, the drive works fine for the Mac. It also works fine if Parallels is running and I disconnect the drive in the Parallels Devices>CD/DVD 1 menu. I'm not sure what provoked the problem -- maybe a recent update of Parallels. Any ideas?
Optical drive not recognised by windows 7 I am using Parallels 8 and Windows 7. Recently had to reinstall both because windows wouldn't start. Now awindows would not recognise the optical drive. How do I configure this?
