New Ubuntu 64 VM

Post by rkevinburton »

I am on a Windows 10 64 bit host. When I create a new Ubuntu 64 bit VM and try to start it I get a fatal message that "No bootable medium found! System halted."

How do I get a bootable medium?

Thank you.

VirtualBox provides the program to allow you to install and run various OSes but not the actual OS. You need to obtain the install media and install it. For Ubuntu that would be ubuntu.com

If I have an ISO file that would contain the OS how do I tell VirtualBox about it?
