FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.

Error shows that your ISO image file is not bootable. Make sure .iso file is bootable.

If your importing existing .vdi, first copy the .vdi file in virtualbox virtual disks repository directory, while creating new VM  select use existing hard disk.
Don't attached .iso image.

or the disk you've attached is not bootable, or corrupted, not recognized,.

More information required,

Are you trying to BOOT from the ISO to install an OS, or BOOT from the virtual disk.

What device are you booting from?  This looks like starting from a freshly initialized disk. (.vdi?)...

What is yor system boot order? is cd-rom included? and mentioned FIRST.

It is in the system setup section.

Oracle OEL 7.1 consists of FOUR (4) ISOS.

You are booting from the incorrect ISO. The ISO you are using is the

      V74846-01.iso            Oracle Linux 7 Update 1 - Source DVD (1 of 2), 3.3 GB

You need to BOOT and INSTALL from -       V74844-01.iso            Oracle Linux 7 Update 1 for x86 64 bit, 4.0 GB


V74846-01.iso is not bootable!
