Installing the operating system on the virtual machine is the next step. There are two main ways of installing the operating system. One can be using a disk image. This is fine for Linux distributions that are download as disc images. For operating systems such as Windows, you can also install directly from the disk.
Right-click on your virtual machine and click on Settings. Now click on CD/DVD-ROM from the left pane. Click on Mount CD/DVD drive if you want to install from the CD or DVD. Choose ISO Image file if have a disc image. Click on the icon next to the dropdown to choose the image you want to use.
Here, click on Add. Browse and choose the image. Click OK and return to the main Virtualbox window when you are done.
In our case, we'll be installing Damn Small Linux on a portable hard drive using a disk image from the hard drive.
