Please post the text of the error here instead of making us watch Youtube. If a screenshot is required, crop and resize the screenshot to get under the forum's 128kB size limit while still being readable, then post the picture file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

It appears that English is not your native language. Please use your native language and we can use translating services.

The VM boots to the EFI shell and stops. Does Tails require EFI? It may be better to use the old-style BIOS. Uncheck EFI in the VM's settings and try installing Tails again.

That error means there is no operating system installed. Did you download a Tails installer ISO?

That shows the primary drive on the USB controller. I'm not sure that is supported.

You should install Tails again, this time to a virtual hdd on an IDE or SATA controller.

Also, the CD drive is empty. You should put the Tails installer ISO in the CD drive.

See section 1 in the Virtualbox manual for how to set up a VM.

Ah, so that's what "tails in virtual flash" meant! :D

Booting from a USB stick requires EFI booting in Virtualbox. Sorry for the confusion. However, I have not done a USB stick install boot in Virtualbox. So I'll have to let others who have done them help out (and I'll watch... 8) )

If you don't really have to use a USB stick, use the ISO and non-EFI boot.

hi mitja,

I have the same error as you posted in the last screenshot.
Is there a solution for it?

Other live usb sticks work fine in VirtualBox and also regular virtual machines .

Thank you!
