I am running windows 7, 64 bit version with virtual box 3.2.12

I tried loading fedora 14 i386 version, and it loads, and I can get in there. Then when I reboot poof it is gone.

I have loaded it fine with another machine that is running 32 bit version.

Any clues?

Thanks ahead of the time

What is poof?

Sorry, whith that description help is not possible.

This is what I do to load Fedora 14

System: HP i5 with 8 Gig of Dram
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Virtual Box 3.2.12 r68302
Fedora 14 -i386 DVD

I go into Virtual box and select new virtual machine. I name it Fedora with os of linux version Fedora. I select memory size of 1 gig, then for virtual hard disk I create new hard disk with the boot hard disk selected. I make it dynmaically expanding storage, location FedoraHardDisk, size 20.6 GB then click finish. I then go into settings, and select storage. Under the IDE Controller, it has a disk showing empty. I highlight that and then in the CD/DVD Device I select the iso image which is stored on my desktop. I then select ok. I then start the VM, and install the software. The software at the end reboots and I set up the individual user on the account, and the system comes up as expected.

Then, when I close the Fedora 14, stop the virtual machine, then restart the VM it can not find the operating system, and I am back in the intial step to load the Fedora 14 again from the beginning. This is what poof means.

On this pc, I am able to run Ubunt correctly. Also the aforementioned process on another system running windows 7 32 bit mode I can load both ubuntu and fedora 14.

Any help would be much appriciated.

One other fact.
Right after I log into the fedora after installing it, i look at the directory and there are two thing in the computer folder, the File System and vg_betafedor14 the name I gave this virtual machine. I can go in the File system, but not the bg_betafedora14. it says unable to mount location.

Thanks ahead of time
