[Solved] Fail to detect Win10 iso?

Post by pernoctador »

Hi! I just installed virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04 (by apt-get install virtualbox) and checked i have the dkms packages installed. I download a Windows 10 iso from microsoft web and when i try to run a virtualbox machine that boots from that iso... Fatal: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted
I don't really know where to look to fix this problem. Virtualbox has the iso in the cd/dvd section and it's first in the boot order. The VM is for a windows 10 64x and the iso is exactly that.

This usually indicates a failed download. I would try to download again and see if it works. Also you could check the md5sum and see if it matches what the DL site says it should be.
