Right click on the controller you want to use and then click on add hard drive, then click on choose existing drive. This opens a file manager that you can select the drive/s.

Hi Perryg;

Please give me more detailed instructions.

I had tries myself before this posting.

I clicked "controller:IDE", "add hard disk", "choose existing disk", it opens file manager in c: programs/oracle/virtualBox", the file name is: CentOS-65-DVD.

I kind remember this was the Centos65 destro disk I used to install at first time.

Did I do this right? How I can re-install my centos65.vdi disk?

Thanks.

2. The VBoxGuestAdditions.iso was used to get Linux full screen in the VirtualBox.
3. I have used VBoxGuestAdditions.iso for several month now. And did run it from after Linux is booted.
Thanks.
You already found the drives earlier. Just use the manager to find and add them
