BlueScreen at start of Windows 7 with Paragon HFS+ 8 drivers

Post by mpetroo »

I installed recently Paragon HFS+ 8 driver to have an access to read and write for Mac OS X drives. Unfortunately now, my Windows 7 Pro can not be started from Bootcamp partition when I'm using VirtualBox 3.2.6 on MacOS host. Windows shows me a BlueScreen at the start. Removing the Paragon driver allows me to start Windows without any problems. I just would like to ask if someone have similar problem and hope that further versions of VirtualBox will allow me to start my virtual machine. is there a possibility to switch off starting the Paragon driver at the start of Windows when I'm booting from VirtualBox but start it when I am starting natively from Bootcamp? Many thanks for future answers :-)

I have the same problem, VM won't start with Paragon HFS+ 8.0.

Install refit, it will allow you to choose from various systems (installed on different disks / partitions) in your Mac. Just like you would have PC with any kind of bootloader.

According to this forum http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26 ... r-mac-os-x it's "officially" stated, that VM can be a problem. I don't have such knowledge to make something like disabler for Paragon HFS if booted from VM.

I don't believe this is related to the VM, because I have the same problem on a normal windows laptop with both the 7.5 and 8 versions, without having a VM installed.

actually I don't have issue if paragon is uninstalled before booting into Mac and starting the windows within virtualbox VM.
