I am new to this forum & ubuntu.
I searched but did not see anything relate to my problem. Please help.
I get the below message when I try to install WIN XP SP2 on Virtual Machine.
"FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted."

Try to install WIN XP PS2

Sun Virtual Machine setup:

Any help on this is appreciated.

It's one of the first things in the VirtualBox FAQ response to this error (no boot medium found) ;). So you could have found the answer, but you failed to see it (happens all too often unfortunately, not just with you).
