Copy-Paste Host-VirtualBox

because-of-verr-pdm-media-locked

A very easy way that I discovered to fix VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED for guest additions with a
ubuntu guest and windows 10 host is:

1. Shut down (not save state) your virtualbox


2. Right-click on your machine in the virtualbox manager -> settings
3. Click on storage
4. Right-click on the cd drive and "remove
attachment"

5. After removing, click on the little CD symbol next to "Controller: IDE"


6. Choose "leave empty"
Now you restart your machine and click "devices"->"Insert guest additions" and it works
