How do I get ISO to load in VirtualBox through Virtual Optical Disk
Everyone-
I just can't get my iso to load in VirtualBox and keep getting "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted. I'm running Ubuntu 17.
What I've made sure of:
- Storage: ISO is mounted under "Controler: IDE. Optical Drive: IDE Primary Master (have tried Primary/Secondary Master/Slave combos - nothing).
- System: Boot Order: Optical, Hard Disk, and no others checked.
- System: I have checked "Enable I/O APIC"
Another thing to note, I downloaded the Windows boot data from Dell and saved on USB stick. I couldn't figure out how to use the USB stick to load Win7 in VirtualBox so now trying the ISO route. I used 'dd' in terminal to burn the files to ISO. I noticed the permissions on the ISO file are listed as root. Could that be the issue? Does the user I'm running have to be added? If so, how do I switch that?
I can't wait to figure this out and start using Windows in VirtualBox. Thank you so much for any help here.

Well, nobody answered and in the few days following I figured it out. My problem had all to do with the ISO. I thought dd copied over all the contents on the USB but wasn't pulling some of the boot files for whatever reason. I just searched again for an Win7 ISO and came across (https://www.pcsteps.com/45-download-windows-7-iso-legally-free-digital-river/). I followed the steps to get the ISO, attached to my Controler IDE, and bam... Windows began installation.
VirtualBox was always functioning fine, it was just the dang ISO. I learned a lot in the process!
For anyone hitting a roadblock and just can't get their Windows ISO to work, hopefully the URL above helps.
Good Luck!
