Thanks for your help. No. I didn't copy or clone. This happened all of a sudden and for no apparent reason. I booted my host a couple of mornings ago, did some light work, then fired up VBox and was confronted with this error. > In any event, you shouldn't need that ISO in the optical drive in > order to boot the guest ...

'Settings', 'Start', and 'Discard' are greyed out. The associated menu choices that I usually use to edit a VM configuration (to change memory, mount/unmount ISOs, etc.) are greyed out.
