FATAL error on installation of guest OS

Post by spknrich »

I've installed 2.2.2
After creating a VM I try to install a guest OS. When I select the VM and hit START it goes to a blue VirtualBox screen then a dos window comes up with "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System Halted"

Below are my settings. Any idea why it won't start the installation?

So I've figured out that the Win95 disk is not bootable. I don't have a floppy drive on my computer. Anyone know of a way to get the CD to boot without a Boot Disk?
