I am a student and we get an account with MS dreamspark and have access to download software for free but they're all downloaded as ISO files.
I have a MBP 2012 and have virtualbox and VMware Fusion and can't get windows 7 to install on either one.
I have tried burning the bootable iso file to a disc and using the disc to install but it says there is no boot medium found.
I've tried booting with a bootable flash drive and virtualbox bios doesn't support that and I don't see an option with VMware.
I've tried booting from an iso file on virtualbox by assigning the iso to the IDE under storage in Virtualbox and it goes the the "loading windows files" screen and then comes up with an error message saying there may have been a software or hardware change and to insert the installation disc and if you don't have it to contact your administrator.
I'm more comfortable with virtualbox than VMware Fusion but ultimately want to use VMware Fusion. I started with virtualbox because it's free.
If someone could please help me with this i'd be greatly appreciative!
