Bug Description

I installed a valid windows 7 image on a vm. I'm now trying to import guest additions using the ubuntu packages. I then access:
Devices->Insert Guest Additions CD Image ...

and I get the following error:

Unable to insert the virtual optical disk /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso into the machine test1.

Could not mount the media/drive '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_DRIVER_NOT_FOUND).
