Trying to run Linux In Windows XP using VirtualBox?
I’m trying to run Linux Mint Helena(8) in my Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Operating System. I’ve installed VirtualBox and have created the Linux OS machine in the program, but I’m trying to put in the settings. So I’m trying to retrieve/mount the iso image from a Live CD my friend gave to me, but a iso image can not be found. The CD works, since I can boot Linux from it, but I can’t find the iso image. What should I do?

Can anyone help concerning linux?
I am currently having a lot of problems with my laptop (see my other questions for details) and someone has recommended I use a linux live cd and then switch to a linux OS. But someone else has told me that because linux isn’t a very widely used OS it isn’t compatible with a lot of things. I know that linux is used in universities so I guess it would be perfect for me to do my college work but I mostly use my laptop for personal use. I have been told that linux won’t allow me to use alot of the programmes I currently use such as: itunes, bit torrent, miro, and certain websites like youtube and facebook. Can anyone tell me more about linux? I don’t have a clue when it comes to stuff like this.
