Well, as it turns out, apparently I discarded my old Vista installation disks last year after I purchased the new computer with Windows 8.1.

So, I have acquired a Windows 7 installation disk of questionable provenance. If I double-click it in Windows Explorer, it displays an installation screen that would apparently install Windows 7. However, VirtualBox tells me there is "No bootable medium found, system halted." (see screenshot)

In the root directory of the Windows 7 disk there are subdirectories: BOOT, EFI, SOURCES, SUPPORT, and UPGRADE. Additionally, there are files: AUTORUN.INF, BOOTMGR, AND SETUP.EXE.
