How to get rid of the "No bootable medium found!" error in Virtual Box? [closed]

Tags:

I am working withing Oracle VM Virtual box on Solaris 11. When the battery of my laptop became 0% and I wasn't beside my laptop, the system halted. So when I started the session I got the following:

Fatal: No bootable medium found! System halted.  

The problem is I already have a script written there.. Is there a way that I can get it back ?

How will you solve a no bootable media found error?

You can change the boot order in the virtual machine settings (Machine > Settings) by going to the System section and selecting the Motherboard tab. Select the boot device, hitting the up and down arrows to change the boot order. Disable the floppy drive, if it is not used, by unticking the checkbox.

What does it mean no bootable medium found system halted?

This message simply means that you haven't told your virtual machine where to find its OS. In the Virtual Machine window, go to Storage, and medium.

Follow the steps below:

1) Select your VM Instance. Go to Settings->Storage

2) Under the storage tree select the default image or "Empty"(which ever is present)

3) Under the attributes frame, click on the CD image and select "Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file"

4) Browse and select the image file(iso or what ever format) from the system

5) Select OK.

Abishek's solution is correct. But the highlighted area in 2nd image could be misleading.
