How do I install Ubuntu on a VirtualBox client from an ISO image?
I would venture to say you are overcomplicating things! You only need to mount the iso in the virtual machine.
- Right click on the VM you want to run the .iso in
- Click on 'Storage' (On Oracle VM virtualBox, Click on 'Settings' first to get to 'Storage')
-
Under IDE Controller There should be an icon that shows a CD with a + sign on it, to create a new disc drive as shown highlighted in yellow color in the below snapshot:
A box will come up, click Choose Disk
- Choose your
.iso
Should boot into the iso like it's in the disc drive.
