ACPI Shutdown Not Working

Hello,
I'm attempting to install an operating system on virtualbox. I'm following a tutorial I found online... I get to a certain point in my installation which requires me to restart my "computer". I've got to this point several times, if I simply power off the machine I have to start from the beginning of the installation. If I press "ACPI Shutdown" - which I can assume is the correct option nothing happens. I currently have the machine state saved so I can come back to it, but is there any way I can get round this or make it work..??

Not if it is OS X

Second warnings are usually followed with a ban if you persist.

It's not... I would like to know why the program won't allow me to restart the machine

Minimum information needed for assistance. I'm mostly interested in zipped VBox.log of your VM.
