Connecting a CD/DVD-ROM Drive
If you start a guest operating system with the CD/DVD-ROM drive enabled, you can connect or
disconnect the drive and change the media it accesses at runtime.
Note: If the guest OS was started with the CD/DVD-ROM drive disabled, you should shut down
the guest OS first, then enable the CD/DVD-ROM drive in the Configuration Editor and start up
the guest OS.
To control the CD/DVD-ROM drive at runtime use Devices menu on the menu bar.
If you have several CD/DVD-ROM drives connected to your virtual machine, in the Devices
menu they are listed in the same order as they were connected. The first CD/DVD-ROM drive
will be CD/DVD-ROM 1, the second will be CD/DVD-ROM 2, and so on.
To disable all CD/DVD-ROM drive operations while running the guest OS choose CD/DVD-ROM
-> Disconnect from the Devices menu.
To reconnect the CD/DVD-ROM drive again choose CD/DVD-ROM -> Connect from the Devices
menu.
To change media accessed by the CD/DVD-ROM drive
Do one of the following:
Drag and drop an image file (or CD icon) to the CD/DVD-ROM drive icon
on the status
bar.
Choose the CD/DVD-ROM -> Connect to and CD/DVD-ROM -> Connect image commands from
the Devices menu.
Right-click (Control-click) the CD/DVD-ROM icon
on the status bar (page 47) and
choose the appropriate command from the device shortcut menu.
