I'm wondering about some strange behavior VirtualBox is showing. If you have both a bootable CD and a Bootable hard drive image selected, the CD is NEVER booted. The only way to boot from a CD seems to be when the hard drive does not have boot information. If there IS boot information, then the Hard Disk is ALWAYS the boot source. I've tried everything I can think of. I put the CD above the hard disk in the boot order. I even unselected EVERYTHING EXCEPT the CD drive, and VirtualBox still refuses to boot from a CD if it's hard disk is bootable.

I'd love some advice here, or is this a bug?

If it is a bug, it does not happen here with a Linux host and a Windows 7 guest. The expected behavior happens. If there is a bootable CD in the virtual drive, it is booted. I have not seen it with other guests, but I did not test just now.

What version of VB?
