I have VBox 2.1.0 installed on an XP SP2 host, trying to install a Mandriva 2009 guest. Mandriva's installer has an annoying need to swap CD ISOs multiple times but this latest version of VirtualBox won't re-mount an ISO after it's been unmounted. It stays attached to the VM even when unmounted and/or released in the storage control panel. The only solution is to save the VM state, restart VBox, reload the VM, mount the ISO and proceed. Known issue? Is there a work-a-round?
thanks!
can't mount ISOs more than once on VBox 2.1.0?

Strange, I can unmount the ISO's I attach without problems. You have to unmount the ISO, then you can mount a new one.
