My host is Windows 10 and I'm trying to get to Linux.
Thanks.

Re: Virtual Box Loading Error
Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
Re: Virtual Box Loading Error
I now have a new problem. I powered down EFI. I first turned it down since this website to me to do it. So I unchecked it, and now I get this message.
Here's the log and screenshot.
Thanks.

Re: Virtual Box Loading Error
Did you turn off EFI? This would be the effect of that.
If you installed the OS with EFI enabled then EFI must remain enabled, because an MBR BIOS will not recognize the partition system on the disk. It will see what it thinks is a single, non-bootable partition - resulting in this new error message.
If you want to abandon your EFI experiment (and with only an 8GB drive, you definitely don't need it), then you need to install the OS again from ISO.
In fact, did you install an OS at all? VirtualBox is not bundled with installers, choosing a OS template makes a VM compatible with that OS. You still need to get a license, install it etc.
p.s. If starting from scratch I recommend 2 CPU cores for the VM, 64MB graphics RAM.

Re: Virtual Box Loading Error
Ok Thanks. I'll re-install and wipe it's memory.
