Halo CE "No valid CD" issue

I downloaded Halo CE from Internet Archive. Here is the link: https://archive.org/details/HaloCEPC/halocd.jpg
The key is valid. I managed to install it. Then I run Halo and get this error (on image). I am on Windows XP SP3 on VirtualBox (virtual machine), the same error both with.iso image inserted and not inserted. I have tried a lot of "patchers", but none worked. Nevertheless, please send me any suggestions you can.
Thanks in advance!

Update: if anyone could give me a beginner-friendly debugger/easy way to find strings in OllyDbg, I would be really thankful! This is the instruction I found for HxD and will try out later tomorrow.
  1. Open the executable file (e.g., halo.exe) in HxD.
  2. Press Ctrl + F to open the Find dialog.
  3. In the Find window, look for the option labeled "Search for" or similar.
  4. Set the search mode to "Text-string" (not hex values). This option is usually a radio button or dropdown in the Find dialog. This tells HxD to search for ASCII text instead of raw hex bytes.
  5. Type the keyword you want to search for, such as CD-ROM, CDROM, CD, Drive, or Disc.
  6. Click "OK" or "Find Next" to start searching. HxD will highlight the occurrences of the text string in the file.
