Use a Disk Image with the Virtual DVD Drive

While working in Windows, you can select a disk image file to be used with the virtual Windows DVD drive, as if it was a DVD inside a real drive. To do so:

  1. In Windows Explorer, open Computer or This PC, right-click the DVD drive icon, and choose Select disk image.
  2. Locate the disk image you want to use and click Open.

Note: This functionality is available only for Windows with Parallels Tools installed.
