Not in a hypervisor partition (HVP=0) (VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).ĪMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED). I also have not taken any steps yet to fix this problem. I don't have hardware virtualization enabled that I know of and haven't heard of it. I have not installed Host Extensions & Guest Additions. A Windows guest should then automatically start the Guest Additions installer, which installs the Guest. What is this optical drive and how do I set this up and why would I have to touch the BIOS settings? In the Devices menu in the virtual machines menu bar, Oracle VM VirtualBox has a menu item Insert Guest Additions CD Image, which mounts the Guest Additions ISO file inside your virtual machine. I have only ever had to choose an os as the last step in setting up a VirtualBox VM in my experience. "Please select a virtual optical disk file or a physical optical drive containing a disk to start your machine from."
ISO images can be mounted as virtual discs, allowing apps to treat them as if a real. ISO images are often used for backing up optical discs or for distributing large file sets that are intended to be burned to an optical disc.
After having downloaded the virtual machine image and selected it for the os to install this is the message I get with an error following after I am unable to choose an optical drive. An ISO file is an archive file that contains an identical copy of data found on an optical disc, like a CD or DVD. The problem that I have run into is with the optical drive and some BIOS settings that I will reveal below. Then, choose a name, location, drive size, format (VHD or VHDX), type (fixed or dynamic), continue with the GPT option, and choose the format settings. I am on windows, I came from FreeBSD and it seems like VirtualBox works a little differently here. To create a virtual drive on Windows 11, open Settings > System > Storage > Advanced storage settings > Disks & volumes, and click Create VHD.
