No errors. It just won't access the cd and says FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium. System halted.' then I can't even type anything into the VM. Ohhhh llook at that! There is a devices menu and in that a CD/DVD choice. ANd then I go in there and it seem the virtual one is chosen as the default. SO I switch it and I go. Thanks for all your help. I don't know if I would have figured it out so quickly without your help. On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 8:56 PM, Stephen wrote: > I am not sure what the issue is from these details.
