Now with the start button it is good for a few seconds and then I get this error: FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted. Hope there aren't any more error messages left. LOL Bob Well I got win 7 as guest up and running. Did the same yesterday in one try with Ubuntu 11.10. Here, the FATAL error continued to show. Checked the settings and found out that it was not pointing to the win7.iso Fixed that and had to do /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup again. Then, start arrow and all is well. No FATAL error. Not sure why it went away but I'm sure you people do. Hope this is of some help. Thanks again for all the help and patience you have given me as I struggled to learn about this and Linux. All your time ,effort and patience is much appreciated. BTW, anyone know why in Ubuntu is installed one one try as opposed to here. Just curious. Bye.
