My CD/DVD player in my MacBook Pro will not recognize the disk in Windows 7. The disc will load and give me a message "Supported Disk not available". The disc will load and work on the Mac side. I bought a new MacBook Pro with a remote CD USB SuperDrive and after migration of data from the old MacBook Pro, the same problem exists on the new MacBook Pro with the external CD player. I have a real difficult time getting the new USB SuperDrive to eject the disk. The USB SuperDrive works fine if I stay in Mac.

Hi,

This would be a question for Apple since you are using a MacBook. This forum is for Firefox, Firefox for Mobile, Firefox OS, and Thunderbird support.

Apple will not support using Windows on MacBook. This is only a problem when I am using VMWare Fusion to run WIndows 7.

Oh, well in that case, you should go to a VMWare forum
