Copied VM bluescreens
I have a Windows 2008 VM running under Virtualbox 4.3.30 on a Mac. It's a .vmdk / .vmx and it's connected to a second disk, a .vdi, in another folder. I've copied them to another Mac, and when I boot it it blue-screens before I can even get into Windows or safe mode. The log has an error about not being able to take a screenshot, and there's also an error about "Resizing to FALLBACK buffer due to format is invalid." I can't attach the log as this is on a network with no Internet connectivity
Just hoping someone has an idea about what I could try or look at.

Looks like VirtualBox was making some incorrect hardware assumptions. After carefully going through all settings, I can boot my VM now

? I'm not aware that VirtualBox makes any hardware assumptions. What are you referring to?
