Cannot get Virtual Box to Work

Post by Needles »

Greeting everyone;

I have tried and tried to get Virtual Box to work and have spent many hours so as a last resort I have come here for hopefully some assistance.
First Off, my system is an AMD 8350 CPU, the motherboard is an Asus SABER TOOTH 990FX R2.0 (Socket 942) with the latest BIOS installed.
I have 8Gb of memory and am running Windows 7 Professional.
I have enabled SVM in my UEFI for 64 bit Virtualization, I am running VirtualBox-5.0.2-102096-Windows 64 Bit Version.
I am trying to install Linux Mint 17.2 (64Bit) Cinnamon for testing but it fails with each attempt.
I have tried everything that I could think of but nothing works.

Below is the error screen that I am given:

Loading VD plugins failed (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to attach driver below us! File not found. (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
AHCI: Failed to attach drive to Port0 (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

Hopefully someone can help getting me goining!

First of all, try the current VirtualBox release (5.0.4).

After that, if you still have a problem then post a log file for the affected VM: With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Hello mpack;
Thank you for the reply, I down line loaded 5.0.4 and installed it then added Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon (64Bit) and every thing works well!

Thank you again.
