| 8 | If you have configured a virtual machine to use the host's CD or
|
|---|
| 9 | DVD drive or floppy disk drive, but this does not appear to
|
|---|
| 10 | work, make sure that the current user has permission to access
|
|---|
| 11 | the corresponding Linux device file. For example, for a CD or
|
|---|
| 12 | DVD drive this may be <filepath>/dev/hdc</filepath>,
|
|---|
| 13 | <filepath>/dev/scd0</filepath>, <filepath>/dev/cdrom</filepath>
|
|---|
| 14 | or similar. On most distributions, the user must be added to a
|
|---|
| 15 | corresponding group, usually called <userinput>cdrom</userinput> or
|
|---|
| 16 | <userinput>cdrw</userinput> or <userinput>floppy</userinput>.

| 19 | On supported Linux distributions, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> uses
|
|---|
| 20 | <userinput>udev</userinput> to locate hardware such as CD/DVD drives
|
|---|
| 21 | and floppy disk drives.
