Description
I'm running a CentOS 6 VM guest on an XUbuntu 13.04 host using virtualbox 4.2.10_Ubuntu r84101
Under Machine -> Settings -> Storage, the menu item to "Add a CD/DVD Device" is disabled for both the IDE and SATA controllers.
Neither https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp14782496 nor https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#settings-storage say anything about shutting down in order to use Device -> Storage -> Add CD/DVD Device.
The latter says "You can modify these media attachments freely."
Please add text to these manual pages to make it clear how to add a CD or DVD device.

For SATA, the disabled menu item is actually a bug. For IDE it works like designed because IDE cannot do hotplugging.
