You now know why you get the fatal error message: when you click the 
green arrow _for the first time_ after setting up a new virtual disk, it 
will stop and ask you where that that is down to experience.the boot 
medium is. just like when booting from a live cd or boot cd. The default 
is the dvd drive of the host computer. If, like yourself, you have not 
burned it to dvd then simply point the installation at the iso you have 
downloaded. You do that in the first dialogue you get after hitting the 
green arrow. that seems to be the bit where we were failing. I'll try 
and get a screenshot of it and put a link in this thread for others.

        Yes Ubuntu is slower compared with win 7 but I don't do much 
graphics. Mostly text  - exams, syllabi, etc for my students. I just 
don't like win7 or win in general.  And yes I'm sure that experience was 
a factor in the easy installation in Ubuntu.    Tks.
