Can't install VB5.0.12 on partition

When I click on the VB Icon on the desktop I get a box with run. I click run and get the VM setup box. I click next and get custom setup. The location is G, but I have no G. I click browse and get the message "The volume G:\ is currently unavailable. Please select another". I click OK and get the message "Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.0.12 setup wizard ended prematurely.

The partition on Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit hot that I wish to install VB on is J:\. Why can I not select the J partition and ever time I click browse the VM ends. Thanks.

There are many types of VirtualBox icon that you might have on your desktop, which one are you referring to?

If you mean that you put a shortcut to a VM on your desktop then clearly that shortcut is no longer valid. It points to a location that is now invalid. Delete the shortcut, run the VirtualBox manager, make sure the VM you want is present, and create a new shortcut.

Personally when I read this post I had no idea what the user was asking. I thought based on the title he can't install the VirtualBox application to a particular partition and was asking why. But the way everything else was worded just confused me. Hopefully he can clarify.
