no first startup wizard popup

Post by ben777 »

Hi,I just installed VB from the Ubuntu software center(version 3.1.6_OSEr59338).My host OS is Ubuntu 10.04.I created a VM as WinXP.So i do have the manager with WinXP in the left pane.But no first startup wizard will pop up so I can then use my WinXP disk to install XP.What is wrong?....Glad to be here, first time I have ever tried to use VirtualBox.Thx for any help!

What do you need the wizard for? Just attach the CD to the VM (*), and make sure that the CD comes first in the boot order in the VM recipe.

(*) Either create an ISO copy and mount that, or associate the virtual CD with the host CD drive.
