Fedora VirtualBox


I'M trying to install Fedora on my Toshiba Satellite for a CompTIA Linux + DVD course using Oracle VM VirtualBox as directed from by the lesson, note that my main os is Ubuntu. When I go to choose the Media Source (.iso) file, I get the following error(s).

Failed to open the CD/DVD image /home/developer/Downloads/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop (1).iso.
Could not get the storage format of the medium '/home/developer/Downloads/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop (1).iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Result Code:
VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)
Component:
Medium
Interface:
IMedium {9edda847-1279-4b0a-9af7-9d66251ccc18}
Callee:
IVirtualBox {d2de270c-1d4b-4c9e-843f-bbb9b47269ff}

Please help, thanks.

Where did you get the *.iso and has it been checked with the MD5 sum?

I got it from fedoraproject.org, and I have no idea what MD5 is.

also the "live dvd" runs from the dvd drive THERE IS NO INSTALLING !!!!
there is no need to use a vm for a "live dvd "

if you must use a vm and not a full install use the normal dvd

I am assuming a 64bit computer
here is the fedora 14 dvd torrent
the torrent will AUTO check the hash

You need to download a file called "Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop-CHECKSUM" and open it in your text editor. Then open the search function of your text editor. Then type:
Code:
sha256sum Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso
in the console and finally select the long alphanumeric string that comes out and paste it in the text editor's search box, if it finds a coincidence the file is good. If it doesn't you'll need to download it again.
