i also have not taken any steps yet to fix this problem.

I don't have hardware virtualization enabled that I know of and haven't heard of it. I have not installed Host Extensions & Guest Additions. What is this optical drive and how do I set this up and why would I have to touch the BIOS settings? You should 'Release' it's first, After this 'Remove' will available. (see screenshot below) 11 Browse to and select the Windows 10 ISO file from step 2 above, and click/tap on Open. I have only ever had to choose an os as the last step in setting up a VirtualBox VM in my experience. In case 'Remove' not available - it's mean that that image configured for some VM. 10 In the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager, select the new virtual machine (ex: Windows 10 build 10166), click/tap on Optical Drive under Storage, and click/tap on Choose disk image. "Please select a virtual optical disk file or a physical optical drive containing a disk to start your machine from." The name of the ISO file needs to be clearly shown under the Controller IDE.
#CHOOSE VIRTUAL OPTICAL DISK FILE VIRTUALBOX INSTALL#
After having downloaded the virtual machine image and selected it for the os to install this is the message I get with an error following after I am unable to choose an optical drive. 11 Click on the Disk icon on the right side of the screen as shown below and click Choose Virtual Optical Disk File 12 Browse within your computer for the location of the ISO file for ubuntu server. The problem that I have run into is with the optical drive and some BIOS settings that I will reveal below. I am on windows, I came from FreeBSD and it seems like VirtualBox works a little differently here.
