Hello Christopher. What you can do, is use the IDE controller for your iso, so you will now is always IDE.
However, you may hit the same issue, depening on the OS where the box was created, it could be SATA Controller or SATA so maybe the ide would be IDE Controller vs IDE If the box is linux, you should be able to mount the iso just fine. Do a shared folder to path/to/ then on the OS: mkdir -p /mnt/dvd mount -o loop,ro /path/file.iso /mnt/dvd <magic> umount /mnt/dvd Hope this helps Alvaro.
