FIX 1:
Step1: Go to settings > then select the following configuration(Disable Floppy)
Alternatively, you can press F12 while booting the Guest OS and select CD from there, this is a one time setting, good enough for the installation.
Step 2: Place your Existing Guest OS bootable CD in the Disk Drive and start the Guest OS.
FIX 2:
Go to Settings > And Perform the following:
FIX 3:
Try Fix 1 & 2 together..
Try this:
Go to virtual box > right click the OS > settings > under one of the many tab that I don't remember(sorry for this, i dont have vbox installed)> locate the VDI (virtual box disk image) file..
and save the settings.. then try to start the OS..
