OS X never booting

Post by Phil W »

I have tried multiple times to make an OS X VM but it always spurts out an error. Once it was the guru error, but now i get this error and i have no idea what it could be, my linux and windows machines have always worked fine.

NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub)failed: 0xc000000e STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE (124 retries) (rc=-101)

I have typed in ;
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\"

VBoxManage.exe modifyvm [Mod edit: removed command]
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" [Mod edit: removed command]
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" [Mod edit: removed command]
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" [Mod edit: removed command]
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" [Mod edit: removed command]
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" [Mod edit: removed command]

which worked fine, but it just won't boot. It has what i would call "normal" settings, 4096mbs ram, 100gbs or storage and 128mbs of vram.

You do not have an OSX Host, you have a Windows Host, and unfortunately OSX guests are only supported on Apple hardware (which you do not have). See: Mac OS X guest on a Windows Host.

In the really rare case (0.001%) that this is actually an Apple computer in which you have installed Windows, and you're trying to boot a legitimate OSX guest and not a Hackintosh, send me a PM and I'll remedy the situation. Be prepared to provide evidence in such a case.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
