Virtualbox problem with k3b

I tried virtualbox today and it worked fine, however now I got a problem with my cd-rom. Trying to run k3b I get:

Mapping udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_AD_5170A to device /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0 resolved to /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0 is block device (0)

So it doesn't find my burner now that I have run virtualbox (virtualbox is closed and the vboxdrv module is unloaded). How do I fix this without having to reboot? The computer is running a simulation that will take several days and I really need to burn a cd ...

I cannot mount CD's either with:

mount /dev/cdrom I get:
mount: no medium found

I cannot use eject to eject the cd-rom either (trying different approaches to see if I can get some errors that I do understand out of software ...). So what is the approach here?

Re: Virtualbox problem with k3b

No ideas? I wonder if you can "re-recognize" the cdrom some way?
