8 While a virtual machine is running, you can change removable
9 media in the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu of
10 the VM's window. Here you can select in detail what
11 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> presents to your VM as a CD, DVD, or floppy
12 drive.
13 </p>
14 <p>
15 The settings are the same as those available for the VM in the
16 <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>.
17 But as the <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window is
18 disabled while the VM is in the Running or Saved state, the
19 <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu saves you from
20 having to shut down and restart the VM every time you want to
21 change media.
22 </p>
23 <p>
24 Using the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu, you can
25 attach the host drive to the guest or select a floppy or DVD
26 image, as described in <xref href="settings-storage.dita#settings-storage"/>.
27 </p>
28 <p>
29 The <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu also includes
30 an option for creating a virtual ISO (VISO) from selected files
31 on the host.
