Issue the following command

VBoxManage storageattach <vmname> --storagectl "IDE Controller" --device 0 --port 2 --type dvddrive --medium empty

or You can change the boot order first so that won't be a problem any more (set the hdd first, then the CD).

remove the cd from boot order – user91632 Sep 26 '12 at 7:06
am not using virtualbox.i have used gateways for virtualization. This problem does not occurs with ubuntu or fedora virtual machines. – poornima004 Sep 26 '12 at 8:48
can you give a link to your virtualization platform or software? I advise you to detach your cd from virtual machine (or dismount it) – user91632 Sep 26 '12 at 11:17
