How to Boot a VM From an ISO File in Oracle VirtualBox
概要
TLDRThis video provides a tutorial on how to boot an ISO file in Oracle VirtualBox to start a different operating system or perform recovery tasks. To begin, access the VM settings and navigate to the storage section. If an optical drive isn't present, add one by clicking on the controller and selecting 'add optical drive.' From here, you can load an ISO file, such as a Linux Knoppix CD, which can be useful for exploring Linux environments or recovery tasks. Once the ISO is mounted, ensure the VM is set to boot from the optical drive, pressing F12 if necessary to select the correct boot device. After completing tasks on the live CD, shut down the VM and either remove the drive or eject the ISO to return to the normal configuration.

In this video, the speaker demonstrates how to boot from an ISO file using Oracle's VirtualBox software. They illustrate how to change the boot medium of a virtual machine (VM) from its default to a different ISO file, such as a Linux live CD, which can be used to try out a new operating system or execute tasks like file recovery. The process involves going to the VM's settings, navigating to the storage section, adding an optical drive if not already present, and selecting the desired ISO file to boot from. The speaker explains how to mount the disk and start the VM, which then boots from the selected ISO instead of the pre-existing virtual hard disk. Additionally, they mention how to change the boot order using F12 during startup if required and conclude by showing how to remove the ISO after use.
