machine cannot see OS

Hi I installed VB a couple nights ago and all was well. I had some bad snapshots and decided to start all over again. I am running this on win 7-64. I am using an ubuntu virtual machine. I uninstalled from control panels and deleted the .Virtuialbox the machine itself, the Oracle directory. Rebooted. Reinstalled. It says the machine is still there even though all the files were deleted. I removed it. I started a new box, but it didn;t ask where the iso for Ubuntu was, and starts to tell me there is no bootable there. I really need this to work, can someone tell me how to overcome this?
Thanks up front - Stu

In the Virtualbox Manager, select your VM, then click on Settings
In the new windows, go into Storage click on the CD/DVD icon "Empty", then on the right of the window, click again on the little CD/DVD icon, and choose your ISO.

Thanks so much! That fixed everything. I am having troubles with getting continuable snapshots but such is life...
