How can i get around the bios check on windows start up? Can i use the bios info for virtual box and put it on the installation disc i made for windows?

Excuse me, but I don't completely understand: what's the problem ? your BIOS or VirtualBox's BIOS ? Why you want to put a BIOS on the CD?

I think you need another cd. CDs bundled with hardware cannot run in a vm because of the bios check. the guest has a another bios than the host.

Take a look at this thread: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=3224
It worked for me. If all else fails, then you could resort to using VMWare with the option 'SMBIOS.reflectHost = TRUE' set for your VM's configuration: http://www.vmware.com/support/esx21/doc ... d_vms.html

Good luck!
