Changing .iso file location
Changing .iso file location
Hello all, need some advice/ how to help on changing the location of my .iso file. I'm very new to all this stuff, and couldn't find a way to change the location of my .iso file. When i set it up i had it on my desktop not thinking i should put it in a folder somewhere - would really not having this file sit on my desktop. Im not sure what to even google, and i apologize if this answered in some faq somewhere or if I'm posting in the wrong place. I have a Mac with yosemite on if that info is needed.

This is the pop up i get:
One or more virtual hard disks, CD/DVD or floppy disk image files are not currently accessible. As a result, you will not be able to operate virtual machines that use these files until they become accessible later.
Press Check to open the Virtual Media Manager window and see which files are inaccessible, or press Ignore to ignore this message.

Re: Changing .iso file location
It sounds like you didn't unmount the .iso from your guest. As the message says, with VirtualBox running, open the VirtualBox Media Manager from the File menu, Click on the Optical disks tab and remove the .iso from the list. Once you do that you can store (if you want) the .iso anywhere.

You might if you ever need to reinstall it. Not if you backup the guest.
