bootable disk. I get this msg. I’ve enabled the dvd drive in the vbox
system. Any Help is
Appreciated,

Cannot open host device ‘/dev/sr0’ for read/write 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).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).

Have you added yourself to the cdrom group? I know that I couldn’t even
play cd’s until I did that. The error message looks remarkably similar
to what I saw before setting the correct permissions for the cdrom
device.

Try making an .iso of the cd
That was my solution.

isomaster or acetoneISO2

By default you can install XP simple from the CD, but this suse version
have a lot of problems with the optical drives. :frowning: So, make an .iso as
caf4926 suggested.
