Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: ConsoleWrap Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed} Callee: IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89}
I would be really thank full if anyone could help me to resolve this.
In the host Virtual box, click your vmguest, settings, storage DVD or CD , in Attributes choose the Optical disk file (e.g. C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso) . this will insert your iso file in dvd drive where you can mount it (mine is mounted as sr0) , you can use lsblk to see what is the mount pt of your dvd.
