Hello
I'm trying to install Win server 2012 on Win 10, hovever the machine gets stuck in a loop of rebooting, when it gets to the screen with "Install now" button. I'm really not sure what's going on, especially looking at the fact, that earlier today I installed Windows 7 and serv 2008 without any problems. Here are the specs (logs are in the zip file):

Host - Windows 10 64-bit with 16GBs RAM
Guest - Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit with 4GBs RAM
VirtualBox version 5.2.8

I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

If you are seeing the install now message, I would say that you are booting from the installation media, not from the virtual hard drive. Have you released the installation media from the vm's optical drive?

Exactly what BillG said. After you're done with the installation, eject the CD. Just close the VM window with the "Power off the machine" option, definitely *NOT* the "Save the machine state", and then eject the CD from the VM settings.
