Re: Problem to setup
What are you trying to do? Are you trying to use the ISO as the hard disk? If not, check that you don't have a corrupted download, by comparing the checksum of the file that you downloaded with the original. If in doubt, download the ISO again.

Not from me. You have to check from where you downloaded the ISO.

Re: Problem to setup
I still get the problem after I've re-downloaded the file. Here is
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
where I downloaded the ISO files.

You didn't answer that part. Especially the first question.socratis wrote:What are you trying to do? Are you trying to use the ISO as the hard disk?

Re: Problem to setup
Guess what, I got the same error:
ISO's are, of course, images of a CD or DVD, not of a hard drive.
HuaMin, you need to put the ISO in the CD drive, not the hard drive, as Socratis points out.
If you can see the title of the attached picture you can see how I did it. I chose to add an existing Virtual Hard Disk file to the hard drive slot, then in the ensuing Select File dialog box I selected "All Files" in the file type filter so ISOs would show (ISOs are filtered out normally), then picked an ISO. Then I got the same error message as HuaMin.ISO's are, of course, images of a CD or DVD, not of a hard drive.

Thanks for the verification @scottgus1.
PS. BTW, I almost typed by accident scottgus2. When do you expect to be getting a promotion to level 2?
