DVD support...

Message:

I have seen in many other threads on this forum questions/comments
surrounding DVD image support (or lack there of) in Virtual PC. Barring the
technical reasons that may or may not make sense, why on earth does this
product not support DVD devices themselves.

DVD's are cheap, I don't really mind buring an ISO to media. I just wish
that Virutal PC could recognize my DVD drive - as something other than a CD
Rom.

Is my ranting unwarranted and I am just missing something?

it does recognize it as a DVD, just because it presents itself as a
cd-rom doesnt" mean its not seeing the your drive.
