Changing the connection for a virtual CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
You can change the connection for a virtual CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. For example, you

use an ISO image instead of a physical drive connection.
To change the connection for a virtual CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive:
- Select File > Open and open the virtual machine
configuration file
(.cfg) you want to
modify.
- Select Settings > Configuration Editor from Workstation.
- From the list of devices , select
the CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive.
- On the far right, make a different selection under
"Device Type" :
- CD-ROM.
Select this option
if you want the guest operating system in the virtual machine to access the
physical CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive on the host machine. Then choose the drive
letter that should correspond to the virtual CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.
-
Select this
option if you want the virtual CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive to connect to an image
file stored on the host file system. Then click Browse to locate the image file
to which this virtual CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive should be connected.
