although I have never tried it, I believe (from various
similar postings in the past) that what you are trying to
do is not possible. Whilst you can share the
files/folders that relate to the cd/dvd, you cannot read
or write to the disk from any machine other than the one
in which the drive is installed.
sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, and I'm sure
if anyone has found a way to do it they will let us all
know
