No bootable medium found on VirtualBox

I'm trying to run Windows Server 2012 on VirtualBox.

  1. I created a new virtual machine with these default settings:

  1. Then I added my ISO and changed the boot order:

But after starting the machine I get the following error:

FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.

Update:

I checked both the md5 and sha1 hashes, they were both ok.

This confirms the download size:

I was having the same issue. When booted into the Virtual machine, I went to Devices>Optical Drives and noticed that my ISO was attached to Sata Port 2. I detatched the ISO from Sata Port 2 and then attached it to Sata Port 1. That fixed it!

EDIT2: You're trying to boot the language pack, not the installation medium.

EDIT1: just re-checking my microsoft secure download manager:screenshot of download

Might be a bit hard to read, but it says 3GB right there.
