[Fix] Your Installation CD-ROM couldn’t be mounted | Kali Installation Error


Kali linux 2.0 is a Penetration testing Distro from Kali Team. Earlier I had posted two articles on how to install Kali (Sana) using both GUI (Live-CD) and Traditional method. But later I tried to install Kali through USB and I received this error during the installation process. "Your Installation CD-ROM couldn’t be mounted. This is probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert and try it again." I googled and found that it is a known bug and can be resolve easily. To known more about this bug, check https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=1260.







This post will let you know how to solve this "Detect and Mount CD-ROM" issue. Follow the below given instructions,

Unplug your USB from system and Re-insert it

Wait for Mount/ Detection (USB LED glow)

Click Continue

I hope this solves your problem. Enjoy Sana!

[Solved] Error relaunching VirtualBox VM Process: 5 | VirtualBox won't start

In this article we are going to discuss about the 'supR3HardenedWinReSpawn' error. When i was exploring the Cisco IOU  tool, I had to import a Cisco IOU VM which was in OVF file format. But as soon as i double click the ovf file, VM refused to start and an error popped up, saying: Error in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: Machine Interface: IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c7c-cce4184fa048} And another message was also given in addition to the above, Error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5 Command line: '81954AF5-4D2F-31EB-A142-B7AF187A1C41-suplib-2ndchild--comment Fedora32 --startvm fd699e30-a77b-4eac-8ced-1210d756855d --no-startvm-errormsgbox' (rc=-104) The error that you receive might not be as exact as it's given here, since VM details are also part of the error. For example, If you look at the error shown above, My VM name 'GNS3 IOU VM' is also part of the error.  Why do I see this error ? Well, When i was doing a litt...

How To Install Kali Linux In VMware Player

This tutorial will walk you through the difficult process of installing Kali Linux in VMware Player , a free virtual machine manager that can be downloaded from www.vmware.com . This tutorial assumes that you have some basic knowledge of your computer (amount of RAM, number of processors, x32 or x64 architecture, etc.) and that you’re using VMware Player as a virtual machine manager, not VMware Workstation or other software. Step One: First we need to download Kali from http://kali.org/downloads/ . If you have a 64-bit capable computer (like me), then you probably will want the 64-bit version of Kali for performance and compatibility reasons. Select the 64-bit version ONLY if you have a 64-bit computer . If you don’t have a 64-bit capable computer, or if you aren’t sure, then get the 32-bit version, as it will work on both architectures. Step Two: You can either direct download Kali through the browser’s download manager by clicking on ISO , or you can torrent it by clickin...
