Thanx stefan, I will try to be more clear.
When I run vbox, it goes to a flash screen and then onto the error in a dos window:
Fatal: No bootable host medium found! System halted.
If I press F12 in the flash screen right before the dos window opens, it gives me the options to choose a bootable format.
1) Primary Master (didn't work)
c) cd rom (I do not have a bootable cd rom)
f) floppy disk (don't have that)
l) Lan
b) continue booting (didn't work)
I rechecked my settings and I do have the OS chosen, a virtual disk set up, and my cd rom set.
HELP!

IronWare is your PC. Its ware from Iron
Sorry: Please declare us, what you exact want to do.
Normally a guest os has to be installed in a big container file (*.vdi) as a virtual hd.
What is your approach.

Would you please read it first and ask later? Else we would be better of quoting that whole thing (and it isn't pretty
).

well i did skim thru it but i didn't see where it told me how to actually make the boot file from my vista. thats where I am having the trouble..i will look again.
I yes, repeating manuals is not pretty at all.

Is it so difficult?
What do you need on a real PC? Yes, a Boot CD.
You must have one, you cannot create one.
