Hi
I have a PC with windows 8.
I have an Windows 7 64 bit, which runs perfectly from a Windows 7 64 bit host with VT-x/AMD-V active.

When I try to open Windows 7 from the Windows 8 host with VT-x/AMD-V active I get a boot error : INT18 : Boot failure.

What to do ?

The error message means a corrupt or missing disk. Probably you moved the VM but didn't do it properly.

Hi,
What should I do to make a copy of my existing VM ?
Is it enough to delete my setup in Oracle Virtuel Box and then make a copy of the VHD file or should I copy more files ?

To copy a VM on the same host, right click the VM and select "Clone". If you want to copy it to a different host, copy the entire VM folder and then use Machine|Add to register it on the new host.
