ERROR: No bootable medium found...

[rokit boy]

Can somebody help me with this error? I'm running Win 7 Home Premium.
Anybody? BTW I am making a Vista OS.

[Perryg]

Did you put the Vista install CD in the drive?

[rokit boy]

Ok I think I know how to make it work but I need to know how to make an empty ISO file.

[rokit boy]

A vista install cd? Huh?

[Perryg]

VirtualBox allows you to install other operating systems but you must supply the actual installation media.

[rokit boy]

Can somebody give me a full tutorial on how to make a Vista Virtual OS on virtualbox 4.1.8?

[rokit boy]

VirtualBox allows you to install other operating systems but you must supply the actual installation media.

Can i use a ISO file for that? Then mount it and that become my disc?

[Perryg]

Yes but licensing issues still apply.

[rokit boy]

So How can I make an empty ISO file which Will have 20GB free space and act as a disc for mah virtualPC?

[rokit boy]

Ok I done this, Made a new VHD file and used it as my hard drive for my virtual os, IT SAYS VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED! It took 20gb of mah memory and now its just, poof.

[Perryg]

Do you have the installation media for what ever it is you are wanting to install?

[rokit boy]

Can somebody please post a full tutorial from somewhere? I can't find one!

[Perryg]

Its a simple question, but for some reason you never answer it. Do you have the actual install media or not?
If you do not you will never get it to work because you must provide the software to install.

Full tutorial:
1. Make ISO copy of your Vista install CD.
2. While not running, mount ISO copy in VM drive, making sure VM is set to use ISO (not a host drive).
3. Settings: make sure CD is enabled and comes first in the boot order for the VM.
4. Start the VM and follow your nose from there.

Apart from the (optional) step of starting with an ISO image, the procedure for installing an operating system on a virtual PC is the same as for doing it on a physical PC.
