Hi,
I'm trying to start a VM (with enabled EFI) under Windows host. Booting from vdi hard disk fails with the following error dialog:

Configuration error: Querying "BootDevice0" as a string failed (VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole { .... }

What's wrong with boot disk?

And here is the
VM log---

Please post the whole log:

Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

here is the zipped log file

Thanks for the log!

From the log:

00:00:04.246238 Guest OS type: 'Windows7_64'

From the Virtualbox manual:

Windows 7 guests are unable to boot with the Oracle VM VirtualBox EFI implementation.

Looks like this VM is DOA.

Let me guess: You've executed the following command in the past:
Since you've made this setting global (and not per VM), it is injected into all your VMs, and any VM configured to use the VirtualBox UEFI will abort with the error you've encountered. Use the following commands to remove the global setting and to add it only to the VMs you need it for:

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Thanks a lot!!!! VM is booting after executing VBoxManage setextradata global "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/LanBootRom
