Help (Windows 7)

Post by Oxion »

When you install Windows 7 requires the hard disk drive, search the system folder did not return any results (the driver but the installation is not continued, requires a driver again)
P.S. Wrote a translator

It's done with Google as it seems, and that doesn't always work properly. Running it through Babelfish produces a bit better translation:
The driver of hard drive is required with the installation Windows 7, search in the system folder did not give the results (driver it is located but installation it does not continue, it requires driver again)
It seems that you're having problems installing Windows 7 because it can't find the hard drive. Are you sure you created and added a hard drive? It's best to leave the controller settings on default, so PIIX4 and attached to IDE.

It doesn't matter what the Host is, you're having problems with installing Windows 7 inside VirtualBox, right?
Your profile doesn't show the info you're giving in your first post. It's all Windows XP, but you're talking about Windows 7.

The language difference is a bit of a problem here, it's confusing things a bit. Do you know someone who might help you to get your question in proper English?

I understand your problem with the language. It's just that I'm trying to understand your problem, and at the same time, you try to understand my responses. It's not really helping, but don't worry, we take the time to assist you.

Create a new virtual machine, specify which windows version you want to install and leave the settings at default. You can increase the RAM if you want. Attach the ISO or your physical drive with the installation disc in it and start the virtual machine. The installation should proceed without issues.

If you're still having problems, it might be useful to attach a picture of the problem. You can attach screenshots using the Upload attachment tab just below the reply box.

Most times when an installation of Windows 7 (or Windows Server 2008 R2) into a VM fails with a missing driver error, the problem is a bad ISO file download. (2GB size instead of 2.xGB)
