First you have to install Virtualbox. Go to the App manager (Synaptic) search the repository for the Virtualbox program. Tell it to install. You will have a new option under your emulators tab in the programs list. You go to the Virtualbox program and hit new, it will ask what media you want to boot from (img file or media). When I put in my XP disk it started automatically. You may have to go to the configuration menu and enable your CD/DVD ROM for it to boot from your removable media.
