I believe that you MUST use an iso file when installing the OS of choice because i've just installed Kubuntu 8.10 and winxp via iso files with no problems at all.
the forums i'd seen had commented that but NOTHING had stated to do so. My suggestion is to create an iso on HD via settings - CD- DVD click ISO and point to the actual iso. start the vertual instance and see the OS install. My version is virtualbox-2.0_2.0.4-38406_Ubuntu_hardy_i386 from virtualbox website. other issues i had was vbox.drv errors this due to not putting myself in the vbox group! hth ps my initial problems solved - usb still to be sorted but think this isn't too hard (famous last words). Got vmware 2.0 but hit a bug - no support for kernel i'm using - 2.6.24.21-generic. got any-any patch but this failed too. will keep vmware in case i hit more issues with virtualbox. and vmons are distributed for the kernel in time.
