Re: How do I get Virtual Box to continue to Boot Up
We need to know more. Looks like a GNS3 VM. How did you get it? Did you make any changes to the settings?
The screenshot shows an EFI boot environment. Did you make the choice to use EFI?

Re: How do I get Virtual Box to continue to Boot Up
Yes. I selected the choice to use 'EFI'.

Re: How do I get Virtual Box to continue to Boot Up
I would think you are still in the UEFI shell. Does entering boot do anything?

In the (U)EFI Shell, you can enter exit to get to the Boot Manager.

Thanks. How about my other question?DrDexter wrote:Yes. I selected the choice to use 'EFI'.
Some OS's can't use EFI. Some OS's come as a prebuilt installation where the settings should not be changed.scottgus1 wrote:How did you get it?
In what form did the OS come? ISO, OVA, etc.?
Re: How do I get Virtual Box to continue to Boot Up
Earlier I received an error message 'FATAL: No bootable medium found'. I was watching YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBJ0xj2Lcf8 and it stated to activate [EFI]. I did and now I am stuck at current location.
I got virtualbox from virtualbox web site. I am using windows 10.

This was regarding the VM, not Virtualbox.scottgus1 wrote:In what form did the OS come? ISO, OVA, etc.?
In what file format did you get the GNS3 VM? ISO, OVA, etc.?
Re: How do I get Virtual Box to continue to Boot Up
OVA file.
By the way. Isn't VirtualBox a VM also?

Re: How do I get Virtual Box to continue to Boot Up
Virtualbox is the hypervisor that runs the VMs.
Virtualbox generates the virtual 'hardware' that is the virtual machine, or VM, or guest. Inside the VM one can install an OS.
Please remove and delete the existing VM from Virtualbox, as it's bunged up.
Then use the Virtualbox File menu Import command to import the OVA again. Make no changes to the settings. If you run into errors, please post the exact error message without doing anything to the VM.

Good. This is a previously-configured VM that does not need any configuration changes.DrDexter wrote:OVA file.
