dvdpasstrrough problem

[Sebastian Zimmer]

Hi,

I have tried to use my CD Writer through VBox by using "VBoxManage modifyvm "Test XP" -dvdpasstrrough on" and/or the passthrough optiond in CD drive, but just receive the following error massage.

Cannot open host device 'F:' for read/write access. Check the permissions of that device. VBox status code: -38 (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).

Fehlercode: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Komponente: Console Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

The same problem exists on a Solaris Express Community Edition (SX:CE build 104) host, and VirtualBox 2.1.2, when the "Enable Passthrough" option is checked for the host CD/DVD Drive:

Cannot open host device '/devices/pci@0,0/pci-ide@4/ide@0/sd@1,0:c,raw' for read/write access. Check the permissions of that device (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).


Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: 
Console
Interface: 
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}

For a windows xp host, a workaround could be to run vbox 2.1.2 from a user with administrator privileges.

But for vbox 2.1.2 on a Solaris host, running vbox as user "root" doesn't work around the problem.

I am having the same issue with 2.2.4 with OpenSolaris 2009.06 (Amd 64) host and Windows XP guest. Are there any pointers how to solve? Any suggestions I can try? Thanks.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.1.6.
