    v5 v6  
    1 Added the new version of Host CD/floppy/HDD capture patch: http://trac.netlabs.org/vbox/attachment/ticket/45/host-cdflop-upd.diff. Now Floppy and CD/DVD opens in guest OS-es. But 1) floppy performance is still poor and VBox gets trapped if ERROR_SECTOR_NOT_FOUND error occurs. Need to process such errors. 2) CD/DVD direct access partially works. At least, CD/DVD is seen by guest OS, but some SCSI commands fail. For example, you can start Nero Burning ROM in windows and try burning the CDRW. CDRW erase works fine, but write of an ISO image is kinda, working. I.e., it reports that progress is ok and CD burned successfully, but does nothing. CD writing just fails, but Nero does not check error codes. So this still needs to be worked out. 3) You can add the host harddisks to your VM's. For that, you need to create the raw VMDK file and add it to a VM configuration. To create it, use VBoxManage command:
