I'm using VMWare on Windows 7, which I have a virtual machine of Mac OS X Snow Leopard running. Will the CD/DVD ROM read a Mac CD/DVD, for example, Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac?

Hardware: Dell PC

Operating System: Windows 7

Software: VMWare 7

Virtual Machine: Mac OS X Snow Leopard

CD/DVD: Adobe Photoshop CS5 (for Mac)

I forgot I had a virtual machine with Mac running, which I plan on buying Adobe software for mac (I'm getting a MacBook Pro) and figure I try it but I don't know if I can use Mac CDs/DVDs on a Windows OS and it would read the disc in the VMWare.

Has anyone tried this?

if its a mac disc i don't think it will read, cause if you put in an OS image of snow leopard into the windows disc drive, it fails to read, so im only assuming it would be the same case

Does Mac have a different disk format for CD/DVD ?

I thought most CDs use ISO 9660 and most DVDs are UDF.

If both Mac and Windows use UDF, then it's just the Adobe Photoshop CS5 files on the DVD that are different right?

I would think you can put a Mac Adobe Photoshop CS5 DVD in your Windows DVD drive, and the MacOS X virtual machine would read it.
