No bootable media found on all drives

Post by jbrintnell »

I am attempting to install Windows 2008 for a school class I am beginning this week. I downloaded the 32 bit version of it from Microsoft as an ISO. I have burned it to a DVD, pointed Virtual Box at it via the ISO file, and Attempted mounting it to a virtual disk via Power ISO. No matter what I try, it says no bootable media. I'm running Version 4.1.2 of Virtual Box. I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 8 Gb of Ram. AMD 3.2 Quadcore processor. IF you need anything else let me know.

Just use the ISO file instead. Mount that and see if it will boot. If not then the file is bad.

I've tried mounting just the ISO. I'm downloading a new version now.

Thank you
