Hi,

I have just licensed Parallels Desktop 4 for WIndows. When trying to create a new Virtual Machine, it does not use the CD ROM to locate the OS Install files. When I checked the Boot Order dialog, no CD device is displayed. However, when I look at the VM Configuration, it does show the Real Device as Enabled and Connected.

How can I get the CD into the Boot Device list of the Virtaul Machine? It is enabled in the boot sequence of the real PC.

I am running WIndows 7 Ultimate X-64 on a Dell T7500 box.

Thanks,
Norm

FYI to readerss.
I have resolved this question - changed the configured location for the CD-ROM device. Once done (IDE 1:1), the device appears in the boot devices list.
 
NormNWDEI, it is very interesting, what location for CD-ROM device
was set, when you encountered a problem?
 
DVD Configuration with problem

Hi,
The DVD configuration that was in effect when the problem occurs was the default when trying to create anew virtual machine. It was:
CD/DVD-ROM-1
Enabled - checked
Connected - checked
Real Device
CD/DVD-ROM: Default CD/DVD-ROM
Interface: IDE
Location: IDE 0:1
Passthrough - checked
