Erase a disc from VMs

This can be covered somewhere, but Googling that it evokes irrelavent pages.

I was installing Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop on a virtual computer, and halfway through the installation process, the machine suddenly turned off automatically.  Now when I turn it on, it just sits there.

How can I erase the drive for the virtual machine so that I can try reinstalling Ubuntu?  I don't want to waste his time with the creation of new virtual machines or change disks.

Kind regards

Rob.

You install from CDROM?

Turn on the virtual machine and press the ESC key to start the virtual machine. This should show you the start menu where you can select the boot device.

  • PE8: Cannot burn disc from working only area?

    Am I blind? I can't seem to find anywhere an option that will allow me to burn a disc from the work area only... is there somewhere?

    I see this option to share on the web, but not in burning a disc.

    I have six hours of material on the timeline and hoped to burn three discs, but PE8 tells me I don't have enough disk space for every 6 hours.  Well, well, I know that, while I was counting on the movement of the work area on what I wanted to burn, as you can do in prepro.  No go in PE8?

    Due to a major difference between the pre and PrPro, sequences, there are things that can be done in PrPro, who can not pre.

    Back in PrPro 2.0, you could burn to DVD directly. Which was not possible from CS3. From there, we had to either Export/Import of PrPro to yet or use Adobe Dynamic Link (strengthened and improved in CS4), to create a DVD/BD.

    Steve's suggestion is the best - the WAB export segments that are required by DVD and then separate for each project. Import each DV - AVI that was exported, through the WAB, and then just burn it to DVD, for each of them. It is not more, but does the job properly.

    Good luck

  • eject the disc from the drive USB Super

    Last night I unboxed my new USB Super drive and attached to my MacBookPro. I put in a DVD of registered film and was able to start playing. Then I ejected it by clicking on the disc icon on the desktop, because I was just testing how it connected etc...  Then, I wanted to see if he could save.

    I inserted a blank DVD and he asked me to tell him what to save, but I didn't save. Instead, he presented another option, which was to IGNORE.

    So I clicked on IGNORE. As a result, there was NO ICON ON THE DESKTOP for this drive. And the text to EJECT in menu bar is grey.

    Now I am sitting here with a new USB Super with a blank CD disk stuck in it and am totally IGNORED, I asked, but what I didn't know when I asked to ignore me.

    That's the problem. I disconnected, signed back in, and he has not yet cleared my instructions to ignore. So I can't eject the blank DVD disc.

    Where should I go from here?

    My MacBookPro is the retina, i7, 15 '' running ElCapitan, a model community 2015, I think.  I'm not on it now, but will open it to follow the suggestions for help. I'm a new converted to Apple, computing, coming from Windows, so I need the regular basic directions. Any help is appreciated.
