| 7 | <p>While a virtual machine is running, you can change removable media in the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu
|
|---|
| 8 | of the VM's window. Here you can select in detail what <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
|
|---|
| 9 | presents to your VM as a CD, DVD, or floppy drive. </p>
|
|---|
| 10 | <p>The settings are the same as those available for the VM in the <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window of <ph
|
|---|
| 11 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>. But as the <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window is disabled
|
|---|
| 12 | while the VM is in the Running or Saved state, the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu saves you from having to
|
|---|
| 13 | shut down and restart the VM every time you want to change media. </p>
|
|---|
| 14 | <p>Using the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu, you can attach the host drive to the guest or select a floppy
|
|---|
| 15 | or DVD image, as described in <xref href="settings-storage.dita#settings-storage"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>The <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu also includes an option for creating a virtual ISO (VISO) from
|
|---|
| 17 | selected files on the host. </p>
