Getting iso from host to guest

[Schubes24]

Hello,

I'm new to Virtualbox. I have Version 4.2.1 running on my Mac for my host and my guest is running Windows Server 2008. I have an iso of SQL server on my host that I need to get onto my guest so that I can install it on my Windows server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

Look in the devices tab when the VBOX guest is running.

You can mount an ISO as cd/dcd to the guest at runtime.

In fact it needs to be on the host. An OS or an installer cannot use an ISO directly, but VirtualBox can. An ISO is in effect a virtual DVD. You have to burn it to a physical DVD (or use special software) to use it directly in a machine.
