Hi,

I just installed Virtual Box, and went to try and Start an OS, but I keep getting a "FATAL ERROR".

I attached a screenshot. It won't let me start anything from OS/2 Warp to Mandriva Linux...

Anyone help?

Well - the attachment sizes down to about 100px - so I'll host it myself: http://x96webdesign.uuuq.com/xtra/VB_Error.png

Thanks,

You have either:

1. Not installed Windows 7 correctly
2. Not finished installation

Did you use the disk or boot straight from the .iso which Virtual Box allows? I suggest booting from the .iso, not a disk (in better words, not using a disk to install it).

Oh... You need an ISO? That would be the problem... I thought it had it all built in... :o

That explains it...

Thanks,

Haha! Sorry, I can't but help to laugh.. No offense, though. :D

Yeah, you have to install the operating system before you use it, though it would be pretty awesome if they already had it built in ;)

No offense taken - it made me laugh too...

I wondered about that while it was installing - "are they allowed to give out Windows free?"

I guess not! ;)
