installing windows 7 64 bit on virtual box
I keep getting this error when trying to install windows 7 on a new virtual machine in virtual box.
Fatal: could not read from the boot medium! system halted.
I know that the dvd is good because it starts to install on the host machine if I try, I also changed the boot order for the VM to CD/DVD, any ideas what is wrong? thanks
