Help With basic Virtual Box Functions
I am currently trying to get Linux Mint to run in Virtual Box. I got it up and running properly and then I restarted it. It said "No bootable medium found! System halted", well after looking this up it means somehow my .iso was detached in the VB settings. So I attached it and the VM booted, I next needed to install Guest Additions CD image. When I attempted to, I got "Could not mount the media/drive 'C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxVBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED)." After looking this up it means I needed to unmount the install CD. I don't know how to do this so after looking around I believe going to the top left and pressing: Devices>Optical Drives>Remove disk from the virtual hard drive, I noticed right off the bat that the install CD icon on the left-hand side did NOT go away, I assumed it was just that Mint hadn't updated yet. After doing that, I again tried to install the VB Guest Additions, so I tried to mount the drive nothing happens, what do I do? Thanks
