Fedora 14 Installation - No Usable Disks

Post by siwelb »

I am running VirtualBox 4.0.4 on Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) and trying to install Fedora 14 using DVD ISO. When I get to the page where it asks what type of devices the installation involves, I select "Basic Storage Device" and hit "Next". A dialog box comes up that says "Examining storage devices" but then I get an error message saying "No usable disks have been found." Any suggestions?

I have thesame error message while creating a virtual machine using Scientific Linux 6 as guest OS. Any useful advice will be appreciated

Just fixed this issue last night. The problem was that Scientific Linux was not enumerated as one of the guest operating system hence I selected "other" and in the version column I chose "freeBSD". I was able to get the guest OS installed with slight issue while progressing but fixed them and get through to the end of the install.
