Virtualbox help

Hi,

If I've got an existing VB machine and drive, how do I change or add a new .iso, dmg etc.. for that machine to boot from?

Thanks

Just edit it's settings and set the dvd drive to the ISO. Boot and press F10 (i think) and select boot device.

To be more specific:

Right-click your VM and click Settings
Under Storage, click on the existing DVD drive
You should see a small CD icon next to a drop down, click the CD icon
Click Choose a virtual disk file. Browse to your new ISO.

Go to the System section and you can alter the boot order (saves mucking about changing boot options at VM startup).

Click OK when done and start your VM.

Cool. Sorted thank.

It was frustrating me something severe the other day. ;-)
