Installing Kali Linux on Virtual Box
I have a new Dell laptop with W10 64 bit system. I made a bootable usb with Kali Linux that I want to install in Virtual box. When I start Virtual box it tells me there is no bootable device. I used Windows 32 disk manger to transfer the iso file to the usb. How do I install Kali Linux in Virtual box?

Re: Installing Kali Linux on Virtual Box
Not from a USB. Unlike a physical machine, a vm will not boot from USB. You can boot from the CD/DVD or directly from an ISO file (which is the simplest solution for an OS you download). Assign the ISO file to the vm's optical drive and boot from that.
