How do I find DVD DRivers for VirtualBox?

[robertsmits]

I’ve installed VirtualBox in an OpenSuse 13.1 system. I’m at the point where I’m trying to set up a Windows 7 64 bit system in a Virtual Box.

It starts to run the Windows 7 install, then stops with a message saying
it’s looking for a required DVD driver. Even if I remove the Windows 7 disk and insert the LG driver disk for the DVD it (VB) can’t find the driver and everything stops.

What should I do now?

Thanks, Bob

Hi
I would just create an iso image of the install medium (if you don’t already have) then point your VB setup to use that for the install.

Answering my own question…I had to check the box marked passthrough for the DVD.
