Not able to read CD when running Virtual PC with Leopard

External Since: Nov 13, 2007 Posts: 1

Just wondering if anyone knows of any fixes/workarounds to the problem
of not being able to read a CD in Virtual PC after installing Leopard.
I have a CD that is essentially "locked" - the program won't run
unless it can be read from the CD, so I don't have the option of
copying the files to the hard drive and running it (I've tried). This
is ridiculous and I don't feel like giving $35 to Microsoft to ask
them about it just to find out that they don't have a fix. Any clues
out there?

Try creating an ISO of the CD and mount the ISO from VPC.
