I'm trying to install a machine... Usually, I've been using
normal CD/DVD ISO's, but this time I needed a HD media[1]
for various reasons.

I've tried to add it as a CDROM (tried changing the suffix
to .iso from .img), as a harddisk (with and without changing
suffix) and as a floppy (ditto with the suffix). Nothing worked.

VBox claims that it can't recognize the format. In one of the
attempts, I got VBox to accept the file, but the BIOS claimed
not a bootable device.

PS. NATURALLY I've unpacked the file! :)
