Burning a CD from a Guest OS

Message:

Hi. I have a Windows XP Pro computer running MS Virtual Server 2005.
My guest operating system is Windows Server 2003.

The Windows XP Pro computer (the host) has a DVD burner installed.

I'd like to burn a CD from the guest operating system (Windows Server
2003.)

Do you know if this is possible? If so, could you provide some
instructions?

Right now the guest operating only sees the DVD burner as a DVD ROM.

I have the virtual server settings to "Capture" Physical CD/DVD drive.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Kevin Hartgerink

And that's all you'll ever see in the guest. Regardless of the hardware
on the host, the guest will have a read only optical device.
