Looking over several SO threads turns up a lot of good information, but all of it for Linux, which I am currently not running. Here ensure that the Hard Disk is checked and is the first boot device, and at Extended features. Why is this? Scanning the logs doesn't help me, because they didn't tell me where Virtualbox was looking for the image file, at least from what I could understand of them. Open the VM Settings and go to System > Motherboard. I am trying to load a very small, simple operating system I made in Virtualbox with a virtual floppy image, and I get the ' FATAL: No bootable medium found ' error. I wrote the bootloader/OS with FASM, made an image file (.img) with the CMD copy command (C:>copy /b bootloader.bin bootload.img), loaded it into the virtual floppy and when I try to boot it up, it won't load. The OS itself is just supposed to be something to test the bootloader, and all it does is write a '7' to the screen.

I then select Reset and the VM restarts and fails again. I have the CD in the drive, using the virtual machine I select devices and then the D drive for my CDROM. I am running XP as the Host OS and trying to install SOlaris.
