Blue error screen when booting Windows 7 inside Virtualbox.

Post by trusktr »

I recently copied my Windows 7 to a VDI, then tried to boot it in Virtualbox.

However, as soon as Windows starts to boot, it quits with a warning message and the machine restarts. See the attachment for the screenshot.

What should I do?

Mostly this are problems with the guest settings (chipset, vt, iopaic, ide/sata). Try chaningig (begin with ide/sata) this settings. In some configuration it may work.

Yeah I think what I'll try doing is boot from the Windows 7 CD and try to repair the image.
