CD/DVD-ROM

To configure the virtual machine CD/DVD drive settings, use the CD/DVD settings. Virtual CD/DVD

drives can be connected either to physical CD/DVD drives or to CD/DVD images.

Note: You can connect up to 4 IDE devices (hard disks or CD/DVD drives), 6 SATA, and 15 SCSI

devices to a virtual machine. Each device is listed separately in the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog

and has its own number.

To edit the device settings, do the following:

1 Open the Virtual Machine menu or Alt-click (Option-click) the Parallels icon in the Mac menu

bar (in the Crystal view mode) and choose Configure.

2 In the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog, click Hardware and select this device name in

the sidebar.

Note: If this device is absent, you can add it to Virtual Machine Configuration. For detailed information on

how to add a device, refer to Adding and Removing Devices.
