[Solved] 2 of the 3 VDI's doesnt start

Post by Bdeb50 »

Hello i got a little problem. I used my virtualbox and 3 VDI files on my XP machine. It worked fine.

Now im moving to a new pc with windows 7. I installed virtualbox and set the VDI files.

Now 1 is starting without problems. The other 2 doesnt start. The only thing i see is how do i want to startup windows? (normal/safe mode) It doesnt matter what i choose i only get a black screen with a _ sign.

Someone familair with this problem?

thx

Did you use any snapshots with the VMs that are no longer working?
