I’m trying to install Windows 7 on the VirtualBox to no avail. When I finish the setup, add the .iso file via the Storage tab in Settings*, and run it, I just get a black screen that says:
FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.
*To add the .iso, I am going to Settings>Storage>Controller:IDE
I pick the ISO file from my directory and close the dialog box.
Is anybody else having similar issues? I’m running Mac Lion 10.7.5.
This is how I added the .iso file to VirtualBox: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s5/sh/9703f0af-5590-4938-985a-f7f5f7ea3614/ee074ca6f4791806582263b373b9e7aa
