Ubuntu - Installing Windows 7 64-bit in Virtualbox

Sat, 11/14/2009 - 21:24 — sham

Trying to install Windows 7 in Virtualbox on Ubuntu. Kept getting this error message:

"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now."

Solution:

I had to turn on passthrough on my dvd drive in the virtual machine settings.
