Inserting Guest Additions CD Image failing

Post by joebrealsr »

Sorry to bring this topic up again but I've read a lot about it here and tried a few suggestions and still can't get it to work. Be gentle because I'm pretty new to Virtualbox.

Running Version 6.1.4r136177(Qt5.6.2)
I have googled the message below and followed several suggestions but still, get the message. Any help would be appreciated.

I did go into Settings->Storage and changed the Controller: IDE to empty (per several suggestions) but that didn't help either.

Thanks, Joe

This is the message I get.

Unable to insert the virtual optical disk C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso into the machine Ubuntu-Base.

Could not mount the media/drive 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).
