This is because tremendously lots of people ask without web-searching first. That's why lmgtfy is a thing.Jonners59 wrote:the large number of queries on many websites and forums for this subject (one quoted some time ago he'd found 300 so far - as below)
I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to in the quote referenced by this, but if it's my instructions on how to get rid of VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED, then it is necessary to know how to do, since adding a superfluity of CD drives will run into a wall somewhere, whereas one only needs one CD drive if the error can be handled.Jonners59 wrote:Not sure that was needed
No, not necessarily. I have seen physical CD duplicator computers that have 9 CD drives in them. But adding yet another CD drive isn't the optimal solution for VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED. Releasing the mounted CD from the VM OS is.Jonners59 wrote:I have 3. Is that too many?
For the vast majority of operating systems, it is not necessary to have the OS installer CD loaded after the OS is installed. And Guest Additions should not remain mounted after the GAs are successfully installed and the OS has been rebooted. Many snapshot-happy users have found this to their cost when the VM has trouble loading a snapshot or getting registered on another host because of GAs being loaded through several snapshots.Jonners59 wrote:1 x DVD

It appears that the uploaded files are actually all a Word document called Nvidia Card.docx. Please try the upload again. Neither log file nor .vbox file need to be converted to anything else than regular text files. Though the log file needs to be saved, it should be saved as text, not a Word docx. And the .vbox file can be zipped as is without being edited or saved as anything else.
