VBox doesn't directly support more than one CD drive (at least, not in 
the versions I've tried).  But you can use simulated CD drives within 
the guest using iso files.  For Linux, it's easy to mount an iso file 
using the loopback device, and there are various tricks to making this 
easy for a non-root user if you need it a lot.  For windows, Daemon 
Tools lets you mount iso files as virtual cd drives - very handy for 
games with idiotic "insert the CD to play" piracy protection.
