4.3.16 Cannot open host device for read/write access
Posted: 11. Sep 2014, 20:52
After upgrading from 4.3.15 to 4.3.16, my Windows 8.1 Pro guest will not start. My host is also running Windows 8.1. The following error message is received when I map my CD/DVD (G:) drive on my host to the guest. Whether Passthrough is checked or not, the guest will not start. However, if I unmap the host drive from the guest, the guest will successfully start.
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine DVDFAB01.
Cannot open host device 'G:' for read/write access. Check the permissions of that device (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
Does anyone know of a different way to access the host drive within the guest? Or another work-around?
