Can't get Ubuntu to install on VirtualBox
I am trying to install Ubuntu on Virtual Box.
I have no problem creating a slice in Virtual box
after I install the slice, I power on the slice and go thru the install OS wizard. The only drive that shows up is the D: drive in the wizard drop down box. I downloading Ubuntu from the Ubunt website, so now I have the iso on my hard drive.
The error I get is that it cant access the iso or the cd drive, somehow it can't connect to the iso file I have installed locally.
Maybe it would be better to install Ubuntu from a CD.

What version of VB are you running?
Check the ISO MD5 signatures available to check the ISO you have downloaded is NOT corrupted. If corrupt re-download.
see here for the signatures

Use this download to check the MD5 sig and confirm you have a good download

my EE Article here shows how to use this

Your ISO download is either incomplete Or is compressed.
Note the stp by step guide file size f ISO is around 700mb yours is only 260mb.
Get magicdisk and see whether you can load the ISO as a virtual drive.
