Hi Marco,

Sounds like you're being caught out by the (virtual) cd being ejected automatically
after the media test.

I'm not personally familiar with Hyper-V, but there should be a way to "re-insert" the
ISO image media back into the drive (after the media check), at which point it should
(in theory) find it.

Does that help? :)

Regards and best wishes,
