Virtual Optical Disk File to boot Windows 10 which is running in Oracle VirtualBox. The Windows 10 guest (inside the VM) needs to boot from a virtual optical disk. My question is: Where do I go to get the VIRTUAL OPTICAL DISK? Windows-10 virtualbox virtual-machine. Unlock VMware Player for the Mac OS X virtual machine. By default, VMware player cannot run a Mac OS X virtual machine on Windows. We need to patch the player to unlock this capability manually. For that end, we will use the unlocker that the splendid fellows at InsanelyMac have created. We will have to download the following file. Click the floppy disk button to the right of Floppy Drive and click “Choose Virtual Floppy Disk File” in the menu. Browse to the boot disk.img file and select it. Finally, click the Empty disc drive under the IDE controller, click the disc icon to the right of Optical Drive, and click “Choose Virtual Optical DIsk File”. How do I share an optical drive with Windows? Ask Question 2. I need to install something from a CD on my PC, but it doesn't have an optical drive. All the instructions I seem to find mention sharing an optical disk on a Windows PC to a Mac, or sharing an optical disk from one Mac to another. Transfer the.iso file to the Windows PC.

Follow the steps given below;
- Open virtual box from unity dash.
Once the virtual box window comes up, click on 'New'
Give a name for your OS, preferably 'windows 7'. It should automatically change the version to 'windows 7'. Click Next.
Select a memory size, preferably '1024 MB' . Click Next.
Choose the hard drive. Select 'create a virtual hard drive now'. Click Next.
Choose hard drive file type. I personally prefer 'VDI' or 'VMDK'. Click Next.
Choose the storage type on physical hard drive. I prefer 'Dynamically allocated'. Click Next.
In file location n size choose the defaults. Click Next.
Now it'll show you in the oracle VM virtual box manager.
Now click on START.
Choose the boot medium either CD/DVD ROM(which is default) or browse to an iso file.
From then onwards its just like installing on a physical machine.

First make a new machine with your desired settings. Then boot the empty machine, open up Devices -> CD / DVD Devices and select your DVD drive with the disk in it. If you need more help let me know.

Use your host DVD drive and put Windows 7 DVD in the drive
Use an .iso image as your boot DVD
I usually use an .iso image, but if you have a DVD that is just as easy. Just use 'Host Drive...'
