Mac owners in the US can now extend their warranty beyond three years. You can switch to an annual AppleCare+ plan after your initial coverage is over. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

Fatal: no bootable medium found! System Halted Im having the same problem. Anyone have any advice? Status changed; resolution deleted. VirtualBox 2.2.0 (Mac OS X 10.5.6 host). The CD-ROM drive is connected, the inserted CD/DVD-ROM disc is definitely bootable (i.e. 'works' on a physical machine), is accessible in the host OS 'as usual'.

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‘.

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?

Fatal No Bootable Medium Found System Halted Virtualbox Mac Os

There are two main reasons behind this issue:

SOPHOS RED Uptime Hello everyone, I am trying to get SD-RED system uptime information but without luck. On one site I may have power issue but can not confirm as could not find any logs on XG. Applicable Version: 10.00 onwards You can view System Uptime by following the steps given below. Logon to CLI Console via Telnet or SSH. You can also access the CLI Console by clicki. Sophos xg uptime.

• 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.

Update my mac. Step 1: Right click on the virtual machine that isn’t a bootable state and click on settings.

Step 2: Once the settings menu is open, follow the steps access storage > Controller:IDE > Choose the bootable iso and click ok.

Step 3 Os x snow leopard bootable usb. : Start your virtual machine and you should be able to boot normally from the mounted iso.

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.
