Installed XP then upgraded to Win 7

[macke]

I installed XP and upgraded it to Windows 7 32 bit. I changed the operating system from XP to WIN7 in the graphical user interface, but it now says invalid settings detected. I could install 7 on a new VM, but my disc is an upgrade one, so I can't register and run it. What do I need to do?

First of all you should be posting to the correct forum, i.e. Windows Guests, not Mac Guests. Second, when you say "it now says invalid settings detected", who says that? The host, the guest, VirtualBox? In order to better understand the problem you need to submit some more information. Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance. As far as the VBox.log.zip goes, here's what you do:
- Start the VM.
- Record the error message. EXACTLY. Post a screenshot if you have to.
- Shut down the VM.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show Log..."
- Save it, ZIP it and attach it in your response.
I'd also would like to see the "recipe" of the VM. Right-click on the VM, Show in Explorer. That's the recipe (the VBOX file). Zip it and attach it.
