Problem with installation of Windows 7 on VM (MacOSX host)

Post by jxid »

Hi everybody,

I have to say I am a new user of VirtualBox, so maybe my question looks very noobish..

I have a MacOSX Lion as host and VirtaulBox 4.1.4 and tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. When I choose the iso image I have, i receive the following error:

CDBOOT: Cannot boot from CD - Code: 5

Can you please help me and tell me what does that error means and what should i do so that i can install Windows 7.

As a notice, i managed to install Debian Linux on another VM without problem from an iso image again.

Thank you in advance for your help.
