Cannot change CD

Post by rightowner »

Hi there, I'm having sort of a big problem

I cannot change the CD on my virtualbox. Well, I guess I shouldn't say I can't. When the VM is powered off I can, and I can also change to the most "recently used" images. But that is it.

If I try to change the CD when the VM is powered on, it immediately shuts down and I get a message that says "Aborted". There's no error or anything, all it says is "Aborted" in the VM list. I am really stumped.

My host is Windows 10 64-bit.

I think that happens to everybody with Windows 10 host (unless it has been fixed recently).

Yes, things have changed recently. This bug is shown as fixed in 5.0.2, released two weeks ago.

@Rightowner: for the future, please provide minimum information needed for assistance when asking questions on these forums. Then, for example, we would know what VirtualBox version you were using.
