[Solved] Fatal: No bootable media found

Post by daniellouwrens »

Hi

I have installed the PUEL version of Virtual Box 3.0.4r50667
onto the second hard drive of my Vista Ultimate 64 OS,
I have created a 2 Gig folder, and with 1024 meg RAM.

I followed the wizard to install Windows 98, as I have a license for it.

I have inserted the CD into the CD D Rive, it fired up okay so I
know it is readable.

When I get the part to start installing Win 98 I get a error box that says
"Fatal: No bootable media found.System halted"
When this happens I hear the CD drive firing up, so it is mounted correctly,
I think.

Any advice on how I can overcome this?

regards

Daniel
