Got up this morning to set up a new Virtual Box VM for Win 7. I used the following links:
The only issue I ran into was that the directions had my VDI (virtual disk image) set up as SATA instead of SCSI. I went into the Virtual Box settings for the Ubuntu VM under Storage, removed the offending SATA Controller, added the SCSI controller in its' place with the VDI I had setup.
I used this link to figure out how to solve the issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870942
I installed gnome IDE (this took quite a while) and then got started with a "startx" command.
