Re: Error loading Windows 7 on windows 8 host
You are assigning more memory to the VM than you have availble on your host, this will not work.00:00:02.252711 Host RAM: 1015MB total, 408MB available
00:00:02.713686 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000020000000 (536 870 912, 512 MB)
Also, don't expect Windows 7 to work good unless you give it 1024 Mb RAM.
Either free some RAM or get some.

Re: Error loading Windows 7 on windows 8 host
Win8-32bit recommended minimum RAM is 4GB, specified min is 1GB. Win7 has similar requirements. Attempting to run both at once in 1GB is a no hoper.
