Can't boot up Linux

Post by Scrootchy »

Hello,

I have Windows 7, I wanted to install Linux on a virtual machine. So I have the ISO file and try to run it but I get the following error:

Okay that was the problem, thank you bro!

EDIT: Wait a sec, I restarted it and now it says: "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."

Why does it say that all over sudden?

Nvm I think I got it
