Open the VM settings, go to 'Storage'. Under 'IDE Controller' there should be two devices, on hard disk and one CDROM device. Select the CDROM device which should be empty. Go to the right side and open the drop-down box right behind the CD/DVD Device: text. Perhaps make the window a bit bigger. Here the second entry of the list is the 'Host Drive ...'. The Press 'Ok' and start the VM. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
