Windows 7 Booting Errors

Post by jay214128 »

Sometimes, when I boot Windows 7 (64-bit) in my VB, it boots up, but complains that it can't find my profile or load my applications. It complains that it couldn't find some file on the C: drive. Rebooting the VB (Windows 7) several times usually clears it up. It just does not seem to boot consistently. Any ideas on what is happening or how to fix this? The host OS is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit on an i7 CPU.

Doubt that's a VB problem. Is the VM part of a domain by any chance? Else, check the Event Viewer to figure out what your problem is.
