Passthrough control disabled in GUI for CDROM drive

Reported by: stevecoh1 Owned by:

Description

The passthrough control for a CDROM drive is always greyed out for me. The only ways I can change its value are by VBoxManage or by directly editing the VM configuration file.

That control field is disabled when the VM is running. Make sure to power-off the VM, then you can enable this field. Even if you change the CDROM attachment type to CDROM image file, passthrough is re-enabled after you switched back to the host CDROM device.
