By mounting, do you mean to just insert he DVD with the iso in the drive and that's all, and start VBox? Guess I don't know what mounting means. Sorry. Bob
Well, normally you will have your win7home iso file on your hard-disk.
Then you start your virtualbox. Then create a new virtual machine with windows, as said by other people. Then you configure the DVD drive of that machine to use your ISO file directly. It is very easy and it works as if you had a "real" win 7 DVD inside your DVD-drive, just much quicker, without any noise and without burning your ISO to DVD.
Kind regards and just let us know how it works out for you Eberhard
Things didn't go well. Too many errors for a newbie to understand. It say to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup did that and now it says it wants dkms and extensions and I msut be a member of a user group .So one thing at a time and maybe I can get this working. I put windows as the OS and win 7 64 bit as the version in a box for guest, I think. Well, I am confused but will not quit. Please continue your great help from all of you. Thanks so much to all those who are helping and are so patient. As of now, VBox won't open. Just get one of several errors - usually the one about the driver in /etc/init ....... Thanks.
