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.
