Re: fatal: no bootable medium found system halted
The message means exactly what it says: no bootable medium is attached to the VM. Assuming you didn't delete any media files then usually this would be because no OS has been installed yet.
Do you have a CD with the Windows 7 installer on it? Choosing a VirtualBox Windows 7 template creates a VM which is suitable for Win7. It does not install Win7.
