FATAL ERROR: No bootable medium found.

Post by itsjareds »

Whenever I boot an installed machine the second time. I did set an .iso image to boot from, and it worked fine the first time, but the second time and any other time after that, VB gives me this error:

Code: Select all

FATAL ERROR: No bootable medium found.
I shutdown correctly and everything.. :(

To be specific I've tried it on three different distros - Damn Small Linux, Puppy, and Ubuntu 8.10
