Could not get the storage format of the medium error

[oldenuf2nobtr]

Environment: Windows 7 Enterprise laptop, Installed VirtualBox v5.0.2, attempting to pull in centos 7 iso image to install Linux guest OS.

I am not to Image Administration and creation and new to VirtualBox. I have a working Centos 7 LiveCD image but I have recently learned I cannot install from this iso.
I have attempted to pull in an "everything" iso and it fails each time with the same error. I have also tried using the minimal iso image and again fails with the same error. same issue with the DVD iso image. I was initially try to pull the iso images in from my External hard drive and I thought maybe it was not formatted properly or something so I tried pulling the images in straight from my C drive. I get the same error. I read in other forums that the image could be it was not the fill image and only partial. I tried downloading the image from multiple locations. I get the same error. I am left to believe there is something I am not configuring or doing something during the creation of the virtual disk or some setting in another spot that needs to be enabled that is causing this to occur. Below is the full error:

I am not sure if VBoxSVC.log is the one you are looking for but I have attached it.

Right click on the guest in the main manager and then left click on show log. Then click save and post as an attachment.

There are no logs to save. I don't get that far. Once I receive the popup error, that's it.

Did you look?

You stated that you could run a Live CD in another post and even that will create a log.

Yes, the image that is running with the LiveCD has a log that can be saved and I have attached an image of what I see there. I have also attached an image of the error for the new virtual machine I am attempting to create.

Since you have a bootable CentOS 7 LiveCD you should see the "Install Centos" icon on the left of the desktop. Double-Click it.

At this point all I care about is to see a log file. You show the one that is from the LiveCD. Post that one.

After that I can probably tell you what your issue may be.

I see the icon on the Centos Desktop for the LiveCD that your speaking of.

I have attached the log that you requested. there was 4 but I just saved the current window log.

However, I would like to use the everything iso image to get all the product and understand what I am doing wrong. Thank you

I see no reason why you should not be able to install.

Here is a link that shows you how to check the md5 sum to see if the download is correct, and even how to actually install.

I followed the instructions in the link provided to install to the hard drive. Files were created on the hard drive. When it said to reboot at the end of the install I click the Quit button and went in to the terminal and su to root and rebooted. But it bootup from the LiveCD and does not have the other menu or the login screen for the userid I created. I am still missing some step.

remove the .iso from the guest.

remove the .iso from the guest.

I have no idea what that means.

In the settings for the guest, remove the LiveCD.
