[Solved] Windows 7 Installation Error

Post by Mani »

I have Windows Vista SP1 32-bit. I tried to install Windows 7 32-bit RTM in VirtualBox 3.0.2 and at first everything seemed ok. But at the last installation stage where Windows 7 was preparing the desktop, VirtualBox had a error mnessage. It said to report the log files to this forum to find out the cause. So I have attached the log files, please can someone tell me what happened? Thanks :(

The logs are attached, there are more logs and an image, but the file size is too big so this forum won't allow me to upload!

Edit: Solved

Try turning off (uncheck) VT-x/AMD-v in the guest and see if it will complete.

The problem was with the ISO editors I was using. UltraISO and MagicISO can't duplicate the Windowws 7 ISO, specially the WIM files in the ISO. But PowerISO does duplicate everything fine because they released an update today (27th July 2009) which supports the WIM file. I hope the others do soon. Thanks anyway.
