CD-ROM Device Setting

The wizard will determine if you have a CD-ROM, CD-RW, CD-R or DVD-ROM configured on your host machine. Under certain circumstances, for example in the case of a portable computer with a detachable CD-ROM drive, this device might not always be available to the virtual machine. If this is the case, uncheck the Start Connected box. This will prevent the virtual machine from trying to access the CD-ROM at Power On time. If the device becomes available later, it can be connected with the Settings > Removable Devices menu option.

Only one CD-ROM drive can be configured using the Configuration Wizard. If necessary, the Configuration Editor can be used to add CD-ROM drives later.
