That simply means that the system cannot see the ISO image. Where exactly is it stored? What exactly do you see when you go to the Storage section of the Settings of the vm? Send a picture if you cannot describe it in words.

Also make sure that CD boot is enabled in the boot order section of the settings.

If you have a new problem then start a new topic: and I suggest you create it in "Linux Guests".
