So I have to have the bootable CD or USB stick?

Yes, you need a boot CD or USB.

Difficult to say without knowing how you got as far as you did. My guess is you are using a USB image as a virtual CD, in which case this will work fine, as the image is appearing to Virtualbox as a CD. (Think of VirtualBox as a virtual computer with everything - including the CD drive able to be emulated by resources off the host)

After a bit of researching, and a lot of trial and error, I found that the 'Unetbootin' tool installs the Ubuntu platform on my laptop computer as its own OS. Now, I'm about to install it on my computer, and I'll link you to a new question in which I'll need your assistance.
