Problem with Guest Additions Kali Linux

Post by WantedStarling »

Hello, I am facing a problem with installing the Guest additions on Kali Linux. I get the error below. On the Windows 10 VM I didnt have any problem, it installed without any error.

Unable to insert the virtual optical disk D:\Virtual Box\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso into the machine Kali Linux.
Could not mount the media/drive 'D:\Virtual Box\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
Callee: IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89}

Thank you for your time

Either there is already something in the virtual optical drive (possibly still the Kali Linux installation iso) or the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso is already inserted into a different VM.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
