Hello Leo, You will probably have to do the following:
* unmount the Mandrake CD from within Ubuntu (Basically, a CD can't be in use by the host operating system and a guest at the same time) by right clicking on the icon for the CD and selecting unmount. * Attach the CD (which will probably be listed as something like /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom in the list) to the Mandrake virtual machine which you have created using virtual machine settings dialogue box. * Start the virtual machine, and it should start installing.
