Disabling it at bios level does not suit your case?

It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.

Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform

I’m not sure if your issue is narcisism or bestiality

No shit, Sherlock

Not the same as 10hr nyan cat or bacon pancakes

So no one told you life was gonna be this way

Yes. Don’t.

With vbox I don’t think you can do that, nor with any other hypervisor delivering full virtualization. You could try with a paravirtualization, like Xen, and see if you can trick the OS

Note that I don’t know if windows is supported as a paravirtualized guest.

So you "self"host elsewhere?
