Windows 10: Bootable DVD crashes the computer but not in creating a virtual machine

Bios is set to boot from the cd drive. I have three bootable operating systems that work fine. 7, 10 and 10. All three will read and burn disks. On one of the O/S I have three virtual machines and each of those can successfully read and burn. While creating a new virtual machine there is no problem booting from a real dvd. I have tried to boot a linux disk, and a couple of windows disks for trouble shooting, the machine reads for a few seconds, pauses for 45 seconds, then crashes with a screen full of red numbers and letters. Actually, the first time it happened I was booting an Ubuntu distro, and it got half way through the install and failed. After a reboot without a dvd I find one of my partitions and it O/S totally gone unallocated space. Ever since then the bios does not like to boot any bootable disk. Where is my problem? In the bios?


I posted this question to a windows 10 catagory because there is no catagory for my problem

BSOD when launching Virtual Machine

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your effort on this. I understand how difficult it could be when the computer doesn’t work as it is supposed to, we will look into this for you. Please reply with the following details to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting
steps:

• Which application are you using to create Virtual Machine?
  
• Does the issue occur only when launching a Virtual Machine?
  
• Have you reinstalled Windows on the computer?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

I have analyzed the dump files shared by you. Since the issue occurs when you launch Virtual Machine, I suggest you to try disabling the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and check if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type services.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Look for the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and double click on it to open
   Properties.
   
4. Select Disabled from the drop down for
   Startup and Stop the service.
   
5. Click on Apply and OK.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Installing a Virtual Machine in Windows 10

Step #1 is to decide which virtual machine software you wish to install.

The three most popular choices are:

• VirtualBox (from Oracle)
• VMWare Workstation Player (from VMWare); and
• Hyper-V (from Microsoft)

Once you've made your choice you can find detailed, illustrated instructions for installing each one on the internet.

As a personal suggestion: You might find it easier to use either VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation Player. Hyper-V is more complicated to setup.

Between VirtualBox and VMWare, I think you'll find VirtualBox more user-friendly, and it has the advantage of allowing you to create checkpoints - backups of your virtual machine - whereas to do that in VMWare you'll need to upgrade to their (expensive!)
paid version.
