Hi,

I have 6 segmented files in iso format (which similar to 6 CD installer), but since the installer are segmented, that means I am required to insert the next cd (or next iso file must be set to the virtual cd/dvd drive), but unfortunately, the settings of the guest os cannot be changed while its running, is there a solution for this? or i have to restart the guest os after setting the cd/dvd rom to the next iso file? is this can be done? or do i need to do snapshop (which seems take a while before it completes).

Thanks for help in advance.
