Did you just copt the ISO tyo disk ? you need some sort of burning software that allows to burn the ISO rather than copy. If that's done correctly all of the files will be expanded onto the DVD and it will be bootable.

Doesn't Virtual Box allow you to mount an ISO to create a VM?

I use VMware Workstation and it lets you mount an ISO to create a VM (VMware Player has that ability too).

Yes it does you can just save it on your PC and load it into the VMPlayer/Workstation. But i think the problem he has is that it's not an ISO yet.
