If you see the

reinstalled.
If a device can be connected or disconnected at runtime (actually, most of the devices can be),
this can be done using the device's shortcut menu. Click the device icon to display its shortcut
menu and select the command. The picture below shows the shortcut menu for the CD/DVD
drive.
You can also connect CD/DVD discs or images of discs to the virtual machine's CD/DVD drive
or connect a floppy image to its floppy drive in the following way: drag the required image file
over the CD/DVD drive icon on the Parallels Desktop status bar. For more information, please
refer to the Changing Configuration at Runtime section (p. 102).
To add devices to the virt
ual machine configuration or remove them from the configuration,
follow the instructions described in Adding and Removing Devices (p. 215).
