5) On clicking it you will get a screen like shown here.

6) Now click onto setting button shown on that window then you will got another windows as shown below:-


7) Among all setting minimum (ram, harddisk is most). To fill it click a on left side of the image like on clicking memory for setting ram on harddisk 1 for setting harddisk.
