[Resolved] Can't access installed guest OS

Post by micaldas »

Hi,
I apologize in advance for a question, I'm sure, is very basic and probably results from my distraction, but I'm stuck and need help resolving this.
I'm using virtualbox 5, and every time I try to install a linux guest OS, with the exception of Whonix, when I'm done installing and reboot, it opens the installation menu again, not the installed version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

The Install CD is still mounted.

Unmount the Installation Media before rebooting.

Simple, yes ?
