Can't install Ubuntu 12 into VirtualBox (USB not recognized, ISO would not boot)
- by wvxvw
I'm trying out VirtualBox 4.18 and wanted to install Ubuntu 12 as a test. After installing VirtualBox (on Debian squeeze/sid), creating a virtual machine for Ubuntu and pointing it in Settings Storage IDE Controllers to the ISO with the proper version of Ubuntu, checked the "Live CD" option. Tried to define the IDE as master / slave, primary / secondary - all to no effect, and trying to boot this system, I'm getting to the screen which says:
FATAL: could not read from the boot medium! System halted
I've copied the same ISO to the USB stick, and I can boot from the USB (outside VirtualBox).
I've looked at couple of tutorials / walk-through, there's nothing I can see that I would've done wrong.
So, how would I configure it to boot from the desired ISO?
Below is the snapshot with the current settings (sorry, I don't know how to get them as text).
