    Hi there

    When I insert a CD into my Mac (using Parallels Desktop for Mac 5) it shows up in the Parallels side but not on my Mac side.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks

    Zoe

    Go to the CD/DVD settings and select the Disconnect option. The settings can be found in the Hardware configuration, the Devices menu, and the bottom of the virtual machine window. You do not need to shutdown the virtual machine to change this setting.

    Thank you!

    You are amazing thank you! This has been doing my head in for ages! I was looking in preferences for settings and didn't see that configuration link under the Virtual Machine tab!
