Where did the virtual disk come from? You are obviously not doing a fresh install.

Fresh install? I mounted an image (original Windows 7) using Alcohol and launched it from the VirtualBox just like everyone does it. I have no idea what's wrong.

Actually, I did a fresh install of Vista the other day and got a very similar message. I didn't care about line-in audio, and I didn't care that the boot screen was using a strange graphics mode (I could see that!), so I just clicked the "Don't show this message again" checkbox. Problem solved.

Actually that isn't "like everyone does". Most people mount the OS install media and install an OS (ie a fresh install or clean install). You are creating a new vm from an image file. The OS is complaining that the "hardware" in the vm does not match the hardware in the image.
Have you tried the "Don't show this message again" approach that mpack suggested?
