Virtual Box Error


Hey guys!

I was trying to install Windows XP (also does the same for Windows 7) in Virtual Box within Windows 10, but there is an error before I can even open to ISO file.

Here are the settings I had set it in.

• Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit
• 756MB RAM
• Virtual Hard Drive of 20GB (VirtualBox Disk Image) (Dynamically allowcated)

Then I start the virtual machine. It asked me to boot from a drive or an image, I then clicked to search for the ISO file, but before Windows Explorer comes up I get an error message.

"Failed to open the session for virtual machine Windows XP. The virtual machine was aborted"
[table][tr][td] Result Code:[/td] [td] E_FAIL (0x80004005)[/td] [/tr] [tr][td] Component:[/td] [td] SessionMachine[/td] [/tr] [tr][td] Interface:[/td] [td] ISession {12f4dcdb-12b2-4ec1-b7cd-ddd9f6c5bf4d}[/td] [/tr] [/table]

If anyone could help me with this problem, would be very much appricated!

Thanks, Ryan

 

Installation of OS into virtual box, final step (what's wrong?)

this is what I get when I try to do the traditional way for installing Windows



this is what I get when I do the custom choice

It's not really clear what you are trying to do. You assign the ISO to an optical drive. From your screenshot you are trying to assign it to a hard drive.
