While attempting to perform a network installation of Windows 8.1 onto a vdi set up as the primary hard drive, a "critical error" occurred and the dialog box said I should provide the attached log and png files in seeking help. The log file is too large to upload, the forum tells me, so I have zipped it and then attached the zip file. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Not so good thinking. You need to change the template of your guest to Windows 8.1. VM Settings, General, Basic, Type & Version. They should match what you're trying to run, i.e. in your case Windows, Windows 8.1 (32- or 64-bit depends on your installation).The log that you attached wrote:00:00:00.850464 Guest OS type: 'Windows7_64'

Re: Posting requested by VirtualBox
How come the VM is called "VM_Win7"? That seems like an unusual name choice for a Windows 8.1 VM. OTOH the screenshot shows an error which is typical of trying to install Windows 8.1 using a Win8 or Win7 template. Were you upgrading a Win7 VM?
