Oracle Virtualbox 4.0.4 Fedora 14
I have installed Oracle Virtualbox on my Fedora 14. Now I want to install windows as a guest. However, I have enabled USB support. But on the system menu there isn't an option to boot from the USB. I have created a bootable windows installation on my USB.
As I am running on a netbook without any DVD/CD drive, my only option it to install from the USB.
Is this possible?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
Folder2Iso is a no install iso creator that works awesome.
As I mentioned in the comments, seems the ISO is not mounted. Here's what you can do
Devices menu -> CD/DVD devices and point to the GuestAdditions ISO file. The Guest additions is available in Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox folder
With that mounted, type in the below
cd /media
mkdir vbox
sudo mount /dev/sr0 vbox/
cd vbox/
Now, the guest installation ISO is mounted as /media/vbox
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

There is no GUI option to boot from a USB drive, but VirtualBox provides a script that'll let you do it. See this link for a tutorial: http://agnipulse.com/2009/07/boot-your-usb-drive-in-virtualbox/
The tutorial is for Windows, but the Virtual Box tools they use are the same.
