Device Geometry: 

ƒ  Fields Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors in this group show geometry of a virtual HDD. Note 

that the geometry concerns virtual disk, not a real one where virtual disk is stored. 

ƒ 

Disk format label indicates virtual hard disk format. See the Format of The Virtual Disk 

(page 101) in Hard Disk Images topic.  

Attachment Options: 

ƒ  Choose IDE channel to connect to the HDD image in the Connect to field. If you want the 

HDD to be startup one select IDE 0:0.  

Note that if you set two startup drives at once - hard disk (IDE 0:0) and CD/DVD-ROM 
(IDE 0:1) - the guest OS will try to boot according to the sequence set on the Booting 
Options (page 107) tab under the General Options. 

Optimization: 

ƒ  If the selected disk is an expanding-type disk, the Compact button starts the process of 

compacting of the disk. See the Compacting Virtual Disk (page 169) topic for information 
on this feature. The Compact button is disabled for plain virtual disks.
