[FIXED] Windows Server 2016 Preview 5 disc isn't accepted in VirtualBox

[gabe80million]

I think the next Windows build is fixing this, but I can't even put in the Windows Server 2016 disc in at all, it has an error. I am in build 14379, waiting for the next build to finish downloading. Heads up, this may be fixed in the next Windows Build.
EDIT: Nope, the new Preview Build did not work. Please fix this, thank you.

Sorry, you're not making any sense... you presumably know what you're talking about, but no one else does. "Not accepted"? "It has an error"? Could you be any less specific?

I downloaded the Windows Server 2016 Preview 5 iso from Microsoft.com, and when I put the ISO in VirtualBox, VirtualBox has an error saying it can't put in the ISO. Here is the error information:

Could not get the storage format of the medium 'C:\Users\gabei\Desktop\Random ISOs\14300.1000.160324-1723.RS1_RELEASE_SVC_SERVER_OEMRET_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

It may be a problem with me not being in Windows 10 Pro Preview, but I don't know.

Could not get the storage format of the medium

That means that the ISO is corrupt. There maybe a problem during the download. Try to download it again.

It's not corrupt, I'm using the ISO as we speak in VMware.

This is just 2GB. You have a broken download. The file must have a size of 4.8GB

Yeah, I downloaded it again, and it is 4.8 GB. That explains why it said it was missing drivers in VMWare. Thank you.
