You may have to touch the keypad’s right CTRL button in order to release the cursor and go to the top menu to hit the Devices button to insert the Guest Additions CD, or to hit the Run button. Once you have done that, in the virtual machine’s file manager locate the Guest Additions CD image in the CD drive, then run Setup or, you may just see this screenshot, attached, when you Insert Guest additions CD Image if so, just hit the Run button, and you don’t need to try to find the correct file on the CD Image to actually run the guest additions. Once the Extension Pack is added into the VirtualBox manager, start up your virtual machine and then you can add it to the virtual machine: Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image …. The Extension Pack includes the Guest Additions. On this page,, you can download the current version for your host and also the correct Extension Pack. You should download the Extension Pack from Oracle for the version of VirtualBox you are using. If the Extension Pack is not listed there, it needs to be added.

VirtualBox was NOT able to really mount the GuestAdditions.iso image automatically via the "Device -> Insert GuestAdditions CD Image.".įinally I got it mounted! Then just go into the mounted dir ( cd cdrom) and exec the installer with sh n (remember you are root).Did you first install the guest additions in VirtualBox itself, before trying to install it in the virtual machine? You do that in the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager screen, that is what starts up when you run VirtualBox. I tried all the solution on the net and couldn't make it work via GUI (like all the other answers). Every reload was always finding the old one (5.1 installed on VirtualBox 5.1). And now I get reported (by vbguest plugin ) that I need an updated version of GuestAdditions.

In my case I updated my macOS, I was forced to upgrade Virtualbox to 5.2 (I installed without uninstalling first). Keep in mind that you not only have to insert the virtual cd, but actually run the installer before the vboxfs filesystem type will work.Īll the answer say to go via GUI and "Leave emtpy" the CD drive, but that wasn't working for me: still VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED error. Hitting the 'Force Unmount' button would be another way to unmount your drive, and after doing that the insert guest additions cd menu option should work the second time you use it. The linked article provides instructions for doing this. Googling for that produces the answer in the first result: Įssentially, you need to unmount your virtual cd drive before inserting the guest additions cd image. Guest additions should include the software you need to use the vboxfs filesystem type.ĮDIT: Based on your updated question, the real cause error you are seeing is VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED. Run the appropriate setup program from the virtual CD drive. Before you boot up the Windows 10 VM, ensure that Enable 3D Acceleration and Enable 2D Video Acceleration are unchecked on the Video tab of the VM’s display settings.

A closer look at the crash revealed that the graphics driver is probably the culprit, which led me to the solution below. When you choose it, it will be as if you inserted an installation CD to your virtual machine. The VirtualBox Guest Additions didn’t work.
Insert Guest Additions CD Image is the same thing as Install Guest Additions in a different version of Virtual Box.
