I did select "Mount CD/DVD Drive" but there is only the one above shown.

This is from the log file:
00:00:04.331 ERROR [COM]: aRC=NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) aIID={e3c6d4a1-
a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e} aComponent={Console} aText={Cannot open host 
device '/dev/sr0' for readonly access. Check the permissions of that device 
('/bin/ls -l /dev/sr0'): Most probably you need to be member of the device 
group. Make sure that you logout/login after changing the group settings of 
the current user (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).

When I do a "/bin/ls -l /dev/sr0...................................... I get 
this..............

brw-rw----+ 1 root disk 11, 0 2009-01-20 16:09 /dev/sr0

This also is the last 5 entries in /etc/group listing....
video:x:33:kantoine
wheel:x:10:
www:x:8:
xok:x:41:
users:x:100:
vboxusers:!:1000:kantoine

My query is now : Are the entries correct for sr0 and my access, can anyone 
confirm that I have the correct entry in /etc/group and are the permissions I 
have sufficient?

Thanks for the assists.
