Thought I’d add my two cents on what worked for me. This particular forum page was helpful to me. I’m not an expert on this and relied on surfing for bits of information from others along with the VirtualBox manual. (I may have done the Ports part first before the Storage part. Add new USB filter (select the correct USB port). I had to fiddle around a bit, by disconnecting and reconnecting my USB on the Host before it is recognised. Click on Host Drive, then the CD icon (next to IDE Secondary Master). I did what noteirak advised above (see his screenshots).

I’m using host Mac OS (El Capitan), guest Windows XP professional 32-bit, VirtualBox 5.0.8. And am now able to use my DVD drive to download and setup software programs from CD/DVDs. Managed to get VirtualBox to recognise my DVD drive connected by USB.

#MAC DVD DRIVE NOT DETECTED WINDOWS HOW TO#
So now I don't even know if the disk image will work or how to access it without a shared folder. But VM VirtualBox Manager Shared Folders has "OK" grayed out when I enter path, folder name and select Auto-mount. I tried to create a shared folder with path Z:\Macintosh HD\Users\myname\Documents\Quicken. It came up with "Sun VirtualBox Setup Wizard." Not knowing if I should use that, I attempted to create a disk image using Mac Disk Utility. I used the Windows Toubleshooter to find the driver. In the system directory ("Computer") the CD drive shows up as D: show hidden devices to fix cd/dvd missing in windows 10. The CD icon at the bottom of the window is greyed out, so I clicked on the USB icon. Navigate to This PC -> Manage -> Device Manager -> View -> Show hidden devices.
#MAC DVD DRIVE NOT DETECTED WINDOWS INSTALL#
Now I'm trying to install a program in Win 7. I used a CD mounted on a USB drive (Macbook Air Superdrive) to install Windows 7, so Virtualbox recognized the CD as a CD. Your best bet is to create the DMG file and use that as a virtual CD. Even if you get it to show up as a USB CD in the virtual machine (with filters), I'm not sure it will boot from that. If I insert a disc it appears fine on my Mac desktop and I can create a DMG image using Disk Utility which I have done with an old Windows 98 CD but I want to install Windows XP without having to go through the hassle of converting it to a DMG image first.Ĭan anyone advise on what could be the problem? My USB drive is a Samsung Slim CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive I purchased last year and is plugged directly into my Mac. If I go into the Drives options menu, it allows me to select a virtual disk image for the CD drive but there is no mention of my CD/DVD drive at all. Initially I thought the 'Live CD/DVD' option would use the DVD drive however whenever I start up a virtual machine to install an OS, it cannot detect a CD drive. If I add a CD/DVD drive to a virtual machine it asks me if I want to use a virtual disk image or Live CD/DVD. Be very careful.I'm running the latest version of VirtualBox on my MacBook Air (2013 model) on OS X 10.9 Maverick however I cannot seem to use my USB DVD drive with VirtualBox, it just doesn't seem to recognise it at all. Use the output of 'diskutil list' to match your Windows 8 CD/DVD to a disk# for the 'dd' command. ** In Terminal: diskutil list diskutil unmount /Volumes/HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5 sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=win8pro.iso.
Voila! The best trackpad anywhere! Network! Sound! Brightness control from the keyboard! The best Windows 8 computer! I opened the flash drive's BootCamp folder and double clicked setup.exe.

MacOS X restarted and Windows was installed automatically, but the Boot Camp driver installer wasn't automatically launched at the end of the Windows install. Since I have a MacBook Air, the windows source was copied by the Boot Camp Assistant to a USB flash drive. iso file as the source of your Windows installation. iso.ĥ) Launch Boot Camp Assistant and select the. When the Disk Utility has finished, find the file you save and change the file extension to. cdr, but this is the same file format as. The Disk Utility saves this with the file extension/type. I have used Nero Drive Speed (which I downloaded) in my Macbook Pro's Windows XP side to slow down its CD/DVD drive from 24X to 2X in an attempt to install a DOS game into DOSbox, I have now closed DOSbox and used Nero to bring my DVD drive back up to its original 24X speed and am trying to burn data DVD's in Ashampoo 6 Free.
