Hello all!

I was recently installing windows 2000 in a virtual machine when i got to the first reboot point, The VM Rebooted, I saw this random green appear,
Then the boot screen loaded, The VM seems to be stuck here and i cant get it to boot, It has been sitting here, Running for about an hour doing NOTHING!!

And if it helps, Here are VM Statistics:

Base Memory: 512 MB
VHD Size: 4 GB
Sructure: x86 (32 bit)
Controllers: Floppy, USB, SATA, IDE
Stuff inside controllers: Empty Floppy Drive (on floppy controller), Empty Disc Drive (on SATA controller), Another empty Disc Drive (on USB controller) and the VHD and Installer Disk (on IDE Controller)
Host OS: Windows 10 v1709 build 16299.726

I hope someone can help, In the meantime i will go play some roblox, Bye!

For starters, stick with the defaults from the template. Do not add things randomly, like SATA and USB controllers. Then delete the VM that you have, including files (nothing to lose), create a new VM and try the installation again...

If that doesn't work, we need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:

• Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
• With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
• Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

No, I didn't ask for pictures, I asked for a ZIPPED VBox.log. Read the instructions again. A little bit more careful this time...

Do you have Avast anti-virus installed?

If so you will need to uninstall it (disabling it is not enough) for a Win 2000 guest to work.

I just realized. I do have Avast... Will I be able to Reinstall it after installation?

Not if it's conflicting. This isn't an installation conflict, this is a run-time conflict. If we're talking about the same thing. I haven't seen the logs yet to know for sure it's not something else...

well, I uninstalled avast and it booted xD

Glad you got it going. Marking as [Resolved].
