Give guest exclusive or raw access to IDE CD-RW?

$

Hello all,

I'm having a problem getting some functionality I'd like out of VMware Server... my goal is to create a VM that can burn a Lightscribe label onto a cd using a normal Lightscribe CD-RW drive. The purpose of doing this in a VM is to provide an easy means to make a Lightscribe label when the host OS does not support it.

 

I've made a VM that has all the software it should need to do this, but the guest OS is not able to burn a data CD, nor is it able to make a Lightscribe label. I think, but do not know for sure, that the problem is that it does not have exclusive access to the drive.

 

Does anyone know how I can enable this with any setting or .vmx modification? The guest OS is Ubuntu 6.06, which definitely can burn CD's and Lightscribe labels.
