Windows 7 (64 bit)

[We All Need Heroes]

Hi i have installed VBox but i can't get a version of windows 64 bit working, my technical knowledge is limited and really could do with a very easy to follow guide to get this working?

I have set it up and get to a screen with the following message:

Please select a virtual optical disk file or a physical optical drive containing a disk to start your new virtual machine from.
The disk should be suitable for starting a computer from and should contain the operating system you wish to install on the virtual machine if you want to do that now. The disk will be ejected from the virtual drive automatically next time you switch the virtual machine off, but you can also do this yourself if needed using the Devices menu.

i have nothing to select in the options below and not sure what i need to do to get this working, i'm on maverick iOS on a Mac.

Any help would be amazing

I means you need to have a legal copy of windows 7 either on DVD or .iso to select.

I had the same problem with OS X 10.7.5 host and Win 7 guest.

With Win 7 CD inserted in optical drive, I clicked the Win 7 VM to start (Win 7 not yet installed). A message flashed across the screen. I saw F12. After powering down the VM, I clicked to start again and hit F12. That worked. The installation process began.
