Hi guys,
I use Ubuntu 8.10 (Host) and I just installed VirtualBox 2.1.4, I created a new machine to install Win XP and when I start it it says "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
Any idea how canI install Win XP on my virtual box??!!
Please help.

How would you install XP on a normal computer? A VM is just like a normal computer, completely clean.

The media is not bootable, or mounted.
