DVD drive not right in WHS2011 (vm)

[Banzai_Joe]

Hi all,

so, had a HP ProLiant Microserver running WHS2011 as a hyper-v guest running for about a year without issue.
I now want to start ripping my music cd's from the internal dvd-drive straight into my library, which should be straight forward enough.
However, it doesn't rip, always saying pending.
Checking the eventviewer i get error 7; The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block.
Now doing some digging it seems that it can be a pretty generic error and could point to hardware or software issues.

So, i replaced the drive for a known working one, and changed the sata cable.
After rebooting tried to update the drivers but they are already the latest ones and the error still appears in WHS2011.
I really don't think its a sata controller on the mobo as the drive seems to function normally on the host OS (WS2008 R2), with no such errors in the eventlog.

The hyper-v is set to drag through the dvd drive, which it does, and it displays what's on the cd/dvd that has been inserted. It just won't do anything with it.

I can obviously rip disks from another computer to the library on the WHS, but would like to get this problem sorted if possible.

Any ideas please?

I've got no experience with hyper-v but have the vmware equivalent tools pack been installed? Does Hyper-V give you any other options for mounting the host's drive to the VM?

Not really, you get a choice of using the physical optical drive or mounting an .iso image or none of the above.
