[Solved] Could not read from the boot medium

I have recently installed VirtualBox on my Mac and am trying to install Windows seven on it. I have washed this a couple times in the by alas it has non been for several years.

I was originally getting an mistake when booting my VB automobile (although I forget what the mistake message was) which meant that I had to change the boot order so that Optical was at the summit.

And then I managed to fix that original problem... just now, still, I am getting the following error when booting:

Could not read from the boot medium! Organisation halted

Does anyone know what this means or how I prepare it?

It pretty much means what it says: the boot disk fastened to the VM is not readable. What exactly is the boot medium? Is it a host CD bulldoze? an ISO?

In fact, delight post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click and "Show Log" in the GUI, save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zilch, and attach the aught hither.

I was under the impression that you were trying to install Windows vii into a VM, that y'all had so far not succeeded. Hence, I'd expect to see an Win7 setup ISO mounted in the VM... and I practice non see that. How are you expecting to install Win7? You mentioned changing the boot club so that optical is commencement, which implies that y'all have a CD/DVD, but I don't encounter that you connected any CD/DVD to the VM.

Are you putting the CD/DVD into a host drive? That won't work until the VM is told to use the host bulldoze, and AFAIK that won't work on a Mac either, because it doesn't take existent CD drives that VirtualBox recognizes. What you lot should practise is make an image of the CD/DVD (to .ISO, .DMG or .CDR format), and mount that in the VM instead of a host bulldoze.

This tells me that in the CD/DVD options for the VM, you have enabled the "Host" DVD, without passthrough. The latter is not a problem, but if yous don't have a physical Win7 DVD inserted in your host'south DVD drive, boot is going to neglect. Which it does...

mpack wrote:AFAIK that won't work on a Mac either, because it doesn't accept real CD drives that VirtualBox recognizes.

That wouldn't be a correct statement. Of grade it does work, why were you under the impression that information technology didn't? Even pass-through works flawlessly, which means that you tin can really burn a DVD (even dual layer) from your guest. If your guest supports it...

Well, the "why" is included in the 2nd role of my sentence which you quoted, ie. "because it doesn't have real CD drives". AFAIK, if it'due south an external CD drive operating as USB mass storage and so it won't piece of work. Has that inverse? Also, I don't know Mac models, so I'thou only guessing that the OP's is a recent one with no built in CD drive (because of the nature of his trouble).

@mpack
Your logic most certainly is correct. Those "geniuses" @Apple decided that a built-in DVD is no longer a mandatory accessory. Yous now have to have an external USB-based one. Time might evidence them correct. That'south why I included the model. It'southward a build-in ATAPI drive, a native one, so it should be working right-out-of-the-box.

@pealo86(2)
If you have a Windows disk inserted and yous get the "Could non read from the kick medium", the assertion that mpack fabricated originally still stands; the DVD is not readable. Decadent, scratched or something else.

Can you open up Deejay Utility, select the DVD bulldoze and create an image (choose CD/DVD master from the options)? Then utilise that paradigm instead of the host-DVD to boot your VM?

Thanks, information technology turned out it was the disc all along! Which is very strange equally I only used it a few weeks ago on my MacBook

I've tried another Windows disc now and information technology appears to piece of work fine

Thanks.
