Very easy. Enter the setup of your virtual machine. There you go to the configuration of your dvd drive. And then you change your dvd drive to be the win7 32bit iso, that is on your harddisk.
Then reboot.
Congratulations, you are nearly there!

OK but where do I find the setup of the virtual machine? All I find is settings and items there but no setup. Thanks. Bob
Bob, you will need to find your way around or read the docs. You highlight your win7 machine, then click on settings. The Disk and DVD seättings are under "storage". I hope this helps Kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The 'FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted.' suggests that the win 7 iso has not been specified. The default for this setting is the physical DVD on the host. To use an iso stored on the disk of the host it is necessary to specify the iso. This is done in the same dialogue that appears for choice of installation medium which is the first stopping point after the guest is started for the first time. The Oracle documentation is hopeless. Good luck. I must see this work! L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
