What I am attempting to accomplish

My ultimate goal is to run Windows Vista as a virtual machine inside Solaris.  I have a Toshiba laptop. Details of my toshiba are below the issue.

I am a novice and installed Solaris and if a DVD is placed in the player the DVD shows up on the desktop, all function seem to work properly in Solaris.  


Attempt to install OS from Disk to VirtualBox

Then I installed VirtualBox and followed the wizard for installing Windows Vista and when it gets to the choose location there is:
 
Host Drive DVD-RAM UJ850S (c8t0d0s2)

or the ability to load from a CD/DVD Image.  

When I do choose the
Host Drive DVD-RAM UJ850S (c8t0d0s2) the DVD drive does not even attempt to spin up and


Resulting Error Code

here is the resulting error code

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows Vista.
GMMR0AllocatePages failed to allocate 1 pages (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e128d71c3}


Attempted to Create ISO of Windows Vista in Solaris

I do not have an ISO of the DVD and have also tried to create one using the Create CD-ROM ISO image with dd command:
# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso
Where,
    * if=/dev/cdrom: Read from /dev/cdrom (raw format)
    * of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso: write to FILE cdimg1.iso i.e. create an ISO image


Result of ISO creation from DVD attempt

Result - Nothing happens.  The DVD drive does not do anything.  It seems as if the DVD is not working properly in Solaris even though when I put a disk in it does show up on the desktop.


Possible Unusual Terminal Behvior

One thing to note that I think may be unusual is when I open a terminal window here is what shows:

Sun Microsystems Inc.    SunOS 5.11    snv_111b    November 2008
AndySky@opensolaris:~$

I thought the AndySky@opensolaris: is a little unusual, instead of just a prompt.  Is that normal?


Thanks in Advance to anyone who can help

I really want to get this to work since I will be making multiple virutal machines on my laptop but maybe there is something I did incorrectly on the initial Solaris install.  Not sure, but please help.  Thanks, Andy
