    Kubuntu 6.1 edgy -- No boot Device -- NO OS in CD?

    First off the Host OS is Kubuntu 6.1 edgy
    The CD/DVDs are fine under the host system

    Trying to install XP or Vista as my VM with the same results --
    I receive an error "No Boot Device" and a splash screen
    "power off VM insert CD and power on VM"

    I've tried tweaking the .ps file (saw in the forum someone had success with this) to
    media=1
    image=/media/cdrom0/
    that didn't work for me :(

    I've tried playing around with the Acceleration setting -- that didn't work :(

    Here's the virgin .ps file but I don't think that's the issue..:mad:
