Changes lost after reboot of guest

Post by VirtualGuest123 »

Hi,

I have a very basic issue, anything I change in the guest OS is lost after a reboot of the guest OS. For example I add a user, save the state, shutdown or reboot the guest. When the guest comes back up the user is not there.

Please let me know what I am missing.

Thanks.

Are you sure you actually installed the guest and you're not simply running a LiveCD? Over and over again?
