I keep getting this message, when i try to add the ISO file, to the windows 8.1 64 bit guest OS.
I tried with ubuntu, from the same storage, and that works, but not w10...

Failed to open the optical disk file D:\Nedlastinger\Windows10_TechnicalPreview_x64_EN-US_9926.iso.

Could not get the storage format of the medium 'D:\Nedlastinger\Windows10_TechnicalPreview_x64_EN-US_9926.iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Did you check the sha-1 hash value? 6A95316728299D95249A29FBEB9676DED23B8BEB

Were do i check that value?

In your host. Do a Google search for how to check sha-1 values for whatever OS you are running.

This is what windows insider says.

Windows 10 Technical Preview (x64)
Download (3.92 GB)
6A95316728299D95249A29FBEB9676DED23B8BEB

yes it does. now you have to check if the .iso you downloaded matches that.

How do i check that, i can use winrar, to open the iso file up, but i have no clue were it is.

It keeps saying this is the sha-1 f8c1e49639366b8ad9a26668469f67f6a13c7d09
But microsoft says it's not that, and non of the others has that?

MD5 013183e3bd4634186eeb3eb5877b34b1

That's because it's a bad download. Try from here… http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso

I got it to work, i just had to re download the file, so it went duplicate like this.

Windows10_TechnicalPreview_x64_EN-US_9926 (1)

It needs the extra (1) to be working for me.

But thanks for trying.

Actually the extra (1) means there's already a file named same as the new download, and rather than overwrite the existing file, the download gets the (1) added to make it a different name. That's not what makes the iso work now. You just have a good complete error-free download this time. Hope it works well!

Thanks scott

I'm getting the same error... and I downloaded originally from the link provided in an earlier reply (direct from Microsoft)

SHA-1 hash value: 6A95316728299D95249A29FBEB9676DED23B8BEB

I'm glad to find that I'm not the only one with this issue... but it's really frustrating. I even re-downloaded the iso and am still getting the same error... any other suggestions? I really want to check out Windows 10 but I don't want to replace my current OS so VirtualBox is the way to go, assuming I can get it to work... the iso is direct from Microsoft so it seems like it wouldn't be corrupt... I tried renaming the file to remove all the underscores too. It didn't make any difference, it was a long shot anyway.

The name indeed doesn't matter.

So what is the exact size in bytes of C:\Users\User\Software\Windows10TechnicalPreviewx64.iso ?

The current build available on .iso is 10041.
