Hi
I'm using my Mac to try and run Windows 10 64 bit on VirtualBox.
This is the error I'm getting:
I believe I set everything up correctly:
This is the inside of my Windows ISO file:
I got the windows USB from a purchase at BestBuy and using the disk utility tool on my Mac I copied the file and turned it into a ISO file.
I'm hoping someone can help thank you!

Re: FATAL: No Bootable Medium Found! System Halted
I'm going to move your post from the "Solaris Hosts" section. You have an "OSX Host" and you're trying to install a "Windows Guest". The section you posted doesn't fit in any of those categories...
Simply copying the contents of the USB to an ISO does *not* make it bootable. A bootable ISO has a special format that you can't simply create by just copying a bunch of files. You need a bootable ISO. VirtualBox can't boot from a USB stick (not easily at least).
What you need to do is to get a Win10 ISO from Microsoft. Then you select that as your bootable medium, just like you've done already with your homemade, non-bootable "ISO". And after the installation you activate it using the license in the USB key that you got.
