Playing computer games with Virtualbox

I have a Macbook Pro laptop, but we also have a PC desktop running on Windows XP home edition. I'm trying to get Zoo Tycoon 2 to run on my mac, and I uploaded the windows xp software using virtualbox. Everything worked great, a huge relief because there always seems to be a problem...well, there is. i have to keep the xp software disk inside the computer while my VM is running, which means that i can't put the zoo tycoon 2 software inside...hm...solutions?

MacBook Pro, zune songs over to itunes

sorry i was just being stupid! i just made sure vbox was being installed on hard drive, cd/dvd, and floppy and then took out the windows xp disc before i ran the xp vm (virtual machine) and it still ran. there seems to be an issue with virtualbox when it comes to being able to eject disks.
