| 8 | While a virtual machine is running, you can change removable
|
|---|
| 9 | media in the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu of
|
|---|
| 10 | the VM's window. Here you can select in detail what
|
|---|
| 11 | Oracle VM VirtualBox presents to your VM as a CD, DVD, or floppy
|
|---|
| 12 | drive.
|
|---|
| 13 | </p>
|
|---|
| 14 | <p>
|
|---|
| 15 | The settings are the same as those available for the VM in the
|
|---|
| 16 | <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window of VirtualBox Manager.
|
|---|
| 17 | But as the <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window is
|
|---|
| 18 | disabled while the VM is in the Running or Saved state, the
|
|---|
| 19 | <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu saves you from
|
|---|
| 20 | having to shut down and restart the VM every time you want to
|
|---|
| 21 | change media.
|
|---|
| 22 | </p>
|
|---|
| 23 | <p>
|
|---|
| 24 | Using the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu, you can
|
|---|
| 25 | attach the host drive to the guest or select a floppy or DVD
|
|---|
| 26 | image, as described in <xref href="settings-storage.dita#settings-storage"/>.
|
|---|
| 27 | </p>
|
|---|
| 28 | <p>
|
|---|
| 29 | The <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu also includes
|
|---|
| 30 | an option for creating a virtual ISO (VISO) from selected files
|
|---|
| 31 | on the host.
