I'm trying to install a Windows 7 VM on a Mac OS X Host (Snow Leopard) with VirtualBox 4.1.4 (I have also tried with the last 2 released versions). I'm using an installation disk provided by my company that has a "preflight check" to make sure the machine has enough resources for the installation. I've allocated 4GB of RAM (out of a total of 8GB on my Mac), but the pre-flight check thinks I have less than the 1GB minimum.

See screenshot for the installation error message alongside my configuration for the VM:

: "The machine does not meet the memory requirements. At least 1 GB memory is required."; windows-7-vm-ram.png (75.84 KiB) Viewed 841 times

Did you boot the MAC in 64-bit mode?
If not then you will need to assign no more than 3GB of RAM. You still may need the MAC to be in 64-bit mode though but you can test that yourself.

Ah, I did not have it set for 64-bit, but unfortunately that didn't fix the problem. It still thinks I have less than 1GB when I get to the preflight checks. I had previously tried several different RAM settings (still under 32-bit) and none of them worked.

Any other suggestions?
