Windows 10 ISO Installation Error

[jonah1068]

Hello!
Thank you for reading my post. I recently installed the WIndows 10 preview. I was excited to use it because lots of blog posts say it is quick and easy. When I put the ISO into VirtualBox, I got this error.

Code: Select all

Failed to open the optical disk file /Users/JonahLiu/Downloads/Windows10_TechnicalPreview_x32_EN-US_9926.iso.

Could not get the storage format of the medium '/Users/JonahLiu/Downloads/Windows10_TechnicalPreview_x32_EN-US_9926.iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Thank you for reading! Please let me know if I am missing something that you need.

Verify the checksum of the ISO file. Seems to be a broken download.

I received the same error... even after re-downloading. Were you able to find a solution? I'm using 64 bit on Windows 8.1, btw.
