It wont boot my cdrom mounted iso

Post by burntresistor »

I'm using janty i did a fresh install from Intrepid. I can't get virtual box to boot after I went through the install wizard and then mounted the iso and im getting the error FATAL: no bootable medium found system halted. I don't think I did it any different than before but its not booting the mount.

The message is simple, you can't boot from the ISO. If this is a real CD then create an ISO and try that.

Recheck the iso making process, if it fails to boot the iso can't have been made properly.
