Hi again,
Trying to install windows 7 from the DVD, I keep getting the following
error:
--------------------------
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows7.
Cannot open host device '/dev/cd0' for readonly access. Check the permissions of that device (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
--------------------
And:
$ ls -l /dev/cd0 /dev/xpt0 /dev/pass0
crw-rw---- 1 root operator 0, 112 Apr 7 17:08 /dev/cd0
crw-rw---- 1 root operator 0, 108 Apr 7 17:08 /dev/pass0
crw-rw---- 1 root operator 0, 76 Apr 7 17:08 /dev/xpt0
$ id
uid=103(sdb) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),0(wheel),5(operator),32(texuser),920(vboxusers)
So there should not be a permission problem. The DVD drive is fine,
and the DVD is fine.
I can't use "mount_udf" to mount it on FreeBSD, not sure why, but I
can read it on a windows machine. However, I can mount other UDF
discs.
Thanks for any help,
Scott
