VB 7.0.97 Windows 11 install fail

Post by wsm »

Windows 11 reports CDROM driver failure after booting into install. The boot works, but windows 11 does not recognize the DVD/CD driver.

This appears to be the ISO. It will boot, but not allow windows 11 to continue. Another retry of the ISO seems to work? But it then failed in the exact same way if I added the unattendedinstall.xml file to it.

So, it appears that VBOX can boot from an ISO, (UEFI) but not necessarily finish the install. The GUI complained about the driver.

Very interesting.

Thanks!

Sorry but I'm not following your explanation of the problem you are experiencing.

What ISO are having a problem with; and what is the precise error message that you see?
