I'm trying to run Windows 7 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 v1.1 and it says that it cannot read from the boot medium, help?

What is the boot medium? Where is it?

If it is a DVD in the host machine's DVD drive have you told VirtualBox to look there for it?

Precise error messages please - no paraphrasing. "Cannot read" would be quite different from "no bootable medium found".
