My WIN-10 is a virtual machine running under virtualBox on Linux Mint.

I want to reinstall an application from a CD but Windows doesn't find the drive.

I have two DVD drives on my machine.

I have no idea which drive Windows is expected to find but it doesn't respond to either of them.

Did you mount one of the drives to the VM?
the VM is "virtuzal" and does not see the real hardware unless you
allow it access (look in the menuebar).

Windows can automatically recognize media is present in a drive,
just via the autorun setup on it. Otherwise, you have to open
File Explorer, and navigate to the Setup.exe on the disc to get
the job done.

Here, I've added a second optical, but I haven't mapped it to E: yet.
On your Linux Host, the identity of the /dev for the optical
will be somewhat different than the Windows namespace E: .
Maybe your optical drives are /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 ?
Then, when configuring the optical drives, you will have to
tell each one, which /dev physical drive to use for the purpose.

Another idea would be to make an iso of the DVD, then before booting the VM, go into settings and put the ISO in the
vm's dvd drive.

I found out how to do it. A bit confusing but ...

VirtualBox -> Settings -> Storage -> Host Drive -> Attributes -> Optical Drive -> Click-blue-button on the right -> select Host Drive mnnnnn
