I installed 12.1 on vb from an iso on the same hrad disk. When it starts, it boots with the installation screen. If I move the iso, it won't boot. It works OK, but is just annoying. What is your host on which vb is working? 12.1 guest 12.1 host

If you are using vb, you should disable the option of booting guest from CD, but only enabled should be the boot from hard disk, which usually is found in the Guest Operating System -> Settings -> System(/or somewhere), check out somewhere and there should be a 'tick' (checkmark) only with the option of 'Hard disk' in booting. That's in the bios no? What I want to say is 'boot from vdi'. At the moment whatever it is, is set to 'boot from the iso you used to install it'. It's like installing from a dvd and forgetting to take the dvd out of the drive before the next boot.

Hi

I installed 12.1 on vb from an iso on the same hrad disk. When it starts, it boots with the installation screen. If I move the iso, it won't boot. It works OK, but is just annoying.

Before I try again from a dvd, is there a solution to this?

Thanks L x

By "move the ISO" do you mean you moved the ISO file or used Devices pulldown-->CD/DVD Devices-->Remove disk from virtual drive or removed the DVD ISO in the settings under Storage?

If you moved the DVD ISO file then the VM can become confused because the settings say there is a DVD in the virtual drive that it can't find.

Hi I moved the iso file on disk from /home/lynn/Downloads to /home/lynn thinking that that would have the same effect as removing the dvd from the drive. e.g. if I had first burned the iso to a blank dvd and used that for the installation, instead of the unburned iso image.
