Please explain exactly what you're trying and what problem you're having, without making others who might help you hunt up stuff on 3rd-party sites and missing images.

See Minimum Info Needed for Assistance.

And this error appears, in step 23 of the website:

My guess is that you are confusing the vm's floppy/CD drives and the host's floppy/CD drives. Do you really have ME on floppies (as your reference uses)?

Where have you mounted the installation disc? If it is on the host, have you told the vm to use the drive on the host?

WhithePortal, Posting now-active links to websites is not what you were asked to do. Links removed.

Please explain exactly what you're trying and what problem you're having, without making others who might help you hunt up stuff on 3rd-party sites and images.

Images should be cropped and resized to get under the forum's 128kB size limit, then posted using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. This is possible from first day first post.

WhithePortal, you are not paying attention. You put a third-party website's picture in [img] tags.

You were explicitly told not to post third party website links and to use the forum's Upload Attachment tab instead.

This is your last chance. Please explain exactly what you're trying and what problem you're having, without making others who might help you hunt up stuff on 3rd-party sites and images.

If your inability to follow these directions is because you don't speak English and are afraid to explain your problem properly, please use your native language.

If you continue to post website links as an 'attempt' to explain your problem, this topic will be locked as a waste of the forum volunteers' time.

Youtube is a 3rd party website, so, No.

Explain in your own words.

Your native language is fine.
