Fedora 19 Continually wants to Re-Install

Hi
I'm trying to set up Fedora 19 on a recent addition of vbox. I went through the long process of set up (ie installation of 1239 or so packages plus setting up users etc) then clicked re-boot. The process then began to ask the initial setup questions again.
The same thing happened when I tried the Live ISO (915 MB) this time I used the DVD ISO download (4 GB) from the Fedora org web site. I have 32 bit Win 7 host.
I didn't create an actual or virtual disk but told vbox where to find the .iso file.
What am I doing wrong?

Did you remove the install media from the virtual CD/DVD drive or tell VBox to boot to hard drive at boot instead of the virtual CD/DVD drive?

Thanks Perryg
Soon after I posted my issue I figured the solution out myself. I limited vbox to only boot from the hard drive. Sometimes articulating a concern is a catalyst to solving the problem.
