windows failed to start a recent hardware change

[alib]

Hi,

I'm new to virtualbox, sorry if I'm asking silly questions

my problem is as follow:

I had a windows XP guest that I've imported as a .vhd and everything was working fine.
now the dev team created a new .vhd with windows server 2008 32bit and when I start it I get the same error:
"windows failed to start a recent hardware change"

If some one can help me with this, as I couldn't fined anything related to this problem for windows server.

Thank you very much for your help

Ali

How?

Look at the storage section and mess around with piix3 or piix4
Also look at the network adapter and make sure that you have the right one selected.
You can even try to start it in safe mode to see what the error might be.
