It says FATAL: No bootable medium found! Please, provide me with a fix. It's been 2 days since i'm stuck at this point. I tried everything i found, removed Virtual box and followed steps given in different tutorials but it isn't working out. Please help, I'd really appreciate. If you get no bootable medium, it means that in your vm both the HDU and the CDU are empty (it can mean too that your vm HDU hasn’t any boot record or any OS on).

System Halted.” error, you’ll need to ensure that the virtual machine is configured to boot from a real OS file (either an ISO file or a physical optical drive with a bootable OS install). 状況 VirtualBoxにWindows10(64bit)の仮想マシンを作成。 Win101803JapaneseX64.isoを選択 仮想マシン起動 エラー内容 FATAL:No bootable medium found! 仮想マシンに Win101803JapaneseX64.iso のOSが入ってない状況なのでしょうか。.

Virtualbox no bootable medium fixThanks, in advance to anyone who can help. I have an IMac All In One, running OS X (10.6.5 Snow Leopard). I downloaded Virtual Box 3.2.10 for Mac OS X (Intel), ran the setup wizard, created a new virtual machine (for Windows XP SP3 v. 2002) without any problems. Then I clicked on 'Start', read the message about the keyboard command key, pressed OK. The Virtual Box icon box appeared, then a black screen with the error message, 'FATAL: No bootable medium found'. I tried inserting the Windows XP CD - this did not affect the state. I Unistalled Virtual Box using the instructions that came with the download. I shut down the Mac, dowloaded Virtual Box again - same error. I Unistalled Virtual Box, restared the Mac, downloaded Virtual Box - same error. I tried setting up a second virtual machine - same error. Please HELP.

Many VirtualBox users have experienced at least once the message ‘FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted.‘ Sometimes it is also shown ‘No Bootable Medium Found! System halted‘.

Virtualbox No Bootable Medium Fix

This error is more common when trying to start a new virtual machine, but it is not impossible to happen at an existing virtual machine if the virtual hard drive is missing.

Note: This problem has to do purely with VirtualBox, and can be experienced on any host operating system be it Windows, Mac OS or Linux.

What causes this “Could not read from the boot medium” error?

There are two main reasons behind this issue: Free msn download for macbook pro.

  • VirtualBox doesn’t point to an operating system, either a mounted iso or a virtual hard disk with a bootable OS. When you create a virtual machine for a first time, you need to mount a bootable iso like Ubuntu. If you mount a bootable iso before you start your virtual machine, you will be successful booting up the system.
  • The CD/ DVDstorage device controller is configured as SATA. Another issue can be appeared, if you mount accidentally the bootable iso to a SATA storage device controller instead of IDE. VirtualBox works without any problems when a SATA storage device points to a virtual hard drive, but this is not the case for a bootable iso.

How to solve it?

If you are not sure which of the 2 reasons apply to you, I can show you a solution that covers both, and finally stop receiving the error message.

Conclusion

VirtualBox boot issue is very common, and easy to fix but can be frustrating if you don’t know what to do. If you are a regular reader of It’s FOSS, you know already that virtualization technology is among my interests. If you discovered us recently and you are curious to start exploring the features of VirtualBox, I suggest to start experimenting with this guide that covers Fedora installation on VirtualBox, as you can go beyond a simple installation.
