Have installed a guest Win XP Pro on Gutsy host. Although I have attempted to mount the USB drives and the CD drives, I only get one CD-DVD Rom drive and do not get the other CD-DVD RW drive to appear on the guest. I have an external hard drive connected to one of the USB ports and I see it on the settings as some kind of filter, but it does not appear on "My Computer." I am a real beginner with Linux and Virtual Box, so that I may be doing something wrong with settings or ?

I had to uncomment the four lines described in several posts to get the CD drive to appear and operate, so I can now install and operate Windows programs on the guest.

Any suggestions for making my second CD drive and the external USB hard drive accessible would be greatly appreciated.
