installation on virtualbox (SOLVED)

Post by anging »

Hi there,
iam just installing linux mint 18.3 on my virtualbox .

Everything was working fine until the installation process was completed and i had to restart. After restarting it says i have to remove the installation medium and press enter. When i wanted to do that, the installation medium was already removed by itself, so i just pressed enter. Instead of starting mint it says the following : "fatal: could not read from the boot medium..."

Thanks for any advice :)

Usually installing Mint (all versions inclusive 18.3) works fine. How much space did you give the virtual hard drive? The default value is far too small.

I found the mistake myself, i forgot to enable hard disk as a boot option.

Thanks anyways cosmo
