OK, this is weird. I got my DVD-rw working as /dev/cdrom using: VBoxManage modifyvm my_xppro -dvd host:/dev/cdrom. Does that mean, if I wanted my ROM to work, I would use /dev/sdf1? What is sdf1? I've never seen that before, and I'm wondering why it wouldn't be cdrom0 and cdrom1? Oh well, my RW is working, which is awesome. Thanks for the help.
Guy P.S. I do have one more question though. I saw in the changelog that direct draw has been added to the video driver. Does that mean that games such as Deluxe PocMon and Warblade will now work? They don't under Wine, and I would love it if I didn't have to switch over to my Win-Vista drive, just to play them.
