Can you use a DVD rom or cd only?

@LSkywalker1997 Hi. Thank you for commenting

Sure, you can use a DVD no problem.

Great video man. Helped me with a few questions I had installing 10.10 on WIndows 7.

@AWilson013 Thank you very much for the kind comment.

It says "Cannot access the kernel driver!" Help please. This is pissing me off. But great tutorial~

[midfingr]

@LucasJayLikesgaming Sorry to hear that. Maybe uninstall Virtualbox, reboot, reinstall VBox, do another reboot.

What OS are you running as host?

@snarkbaited that means that it can't open the disk image, you probably didn't set it up correctly.
