No bootable medium found! System halted.

Post by Pat_Qc »

I'm trying to make the virtualbox vm boot from a disque partition that I've installed on my MacBook without Bootcamp... running Windows 7 Pro and the Macbook is running on maverick. How do I tell VirtualBox to boot from that disque partition instead of booting from DVD slot?

Thx, Pat :shock:

Actually there is a sort of dedicated thread. The second post actually made it to the FAQ section.

Be very careful, it's an advanced topic and you could destroy your system.
