Currently, the only options for reading and recording optical discs (e.g., CDs, DVDs, BRDs) in Qubes are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Use a USB optical drive.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Attach a SATA optical drive to a secondary SATA controller, then assign this secondary SATA controller to a VM.

|
3. Use a SATA optical drive attached to dom0.
|
|
|
|
|
(**Caution:** This option is [potentially dangerous](/doc/security-guidelines/#dom0-precautions).)
