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.

I am not sure what the issue is from these details. But I generally work from iso's when building vm's

Do you have any errors?

I've looked in google but I can't find the answer. Maybe one of you can help. My mentor wants me to do linux from scratch. I'm cool wit that so I d/l oracles virtual machine to build it on but after a day of work I go to save the the state of the machine (am and told it does so) only to find the next day when I turn my computer back on that the machine wasn't saved. Pissser! So I try synaptic and uninstall and reinstall the vm that way. This time it saves my work and the snapshot feature is available. Only problem is that the dvd/cd/rom isn't available for use. So as it stands at the moment it will save my work but I can't build the LFS because the cdd/dvd doesn't work. So my question is: does anyone know how to get it to work?
