Please help! Installing Windows: No bootable device found

[vinven7]

Hello forum members!

I have been trying to install windows 7 into my Macbook Pro using VB - i have tried XP, Vista and now windows 7. I tried installing all the three, but once the virtual disk is created and I run it, it comes up with this doomed message "Fatal Error: No bootable medium found" . I am going crazy over here - I have tried almost everything that has been given in these forums - including setting the boot order to CD/DVD etc - but nothing seems to work. I downloaded Windows 7 from the net and burned the iso image into a DVD (4x). Even boot camp does not seem to recognize it. But all these CD's seem to work on PC devices. What am I doing wrong? I really need to have Windows installed so that I can run an important software for my research. Please help!

Perhaps a full retail version will work better.

Also enable passthrough on the CD/DVD
