Step by step:
Open the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager
Highlight your problematic machine
Select settings from the top
Click on Storage
There should be at the bottom that has a "+" on it and roll-over text says: "Adds a new controller to the End of the Storage Tree", Click on it.
Add "IDE Controller"
Select that new IDE Controller ensure it is "PIIX4" (Host I/O cache ... don't care works either way)
On that Controller there is now a couple of buttons with a "+" on them, roll-over on one says "Add Hard Disk" the other says "Add CD/DVD Device."
Select "Add CD/DVD Device."
Next a dialog comes up and states:
"You are about to add a new CD/DVD drive to the Controller IDE. Would you like to choose a Virtual CD/DVD disk to put in the drive or leave it empty for now?"
There are three buttons: "Cancel" "Choose Disk" "Leave Empty"
I prefer "Leave Empty"
Then Save an boot the "VM" immediately hit F12 to select boot device in the "VirtualBox temporary boot device selection" screen.
At this point in the Menu bar, there is a "Devices" selection. Choose "Devices" then choose "CD/DVD Devices" then choose "Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file" then go chase down your ISO. Save the setting.
Click in the console of the VM, you should have a few choices there. typically the CD/DVD are "c"
Boot from there.
Please let me know you progress or issues.
Thanks.
