+1 At this stage, we do not wish to introduce anything even slightly untested. L x
Well I like a challenge and don't usually give up. Especially with all you great people helping me. Do I actually burn a DVD with a 32 bit win 7 iso or follow your instructions about putting it in
No need to burn the iso. When you first start the machine after you have set it up and clicked on the green start arrow, you have an option to select the iso image you have downloaded. The default is a burned iso but just alongside that field is a folder icon. Choose that and point it at your downloaded iso.
OK. I am a member of a user group. I copied the iso file from the 8th place on the list and copied it to /home/benjie1/.virtualbox So I guess that's OK too now. Still not clear about the iso. Do I still need to make a DVD with a win 7 iso on it, or are we all set to press start?
No need to do anything with the win7 iso. Leave it where and as it is. You are ready to go. If you have already clicked on new and setup the disk, then click on the start arrow.
Good luck with the yard work;-)
I'm
hoping for the latter. :-) Time to do a little yard work, yukkk Back soon as hope to get this going. Thanks again Lynn. Bob
/home/benjie1/.virtualbox from the 8th one on the list you told me about
NO no no! The guest additions iso needs copying to your .VirtualBox folder in your home directory. It has nothing to do with the windows 7 iso.
. Ready to do either one now. And then I guess I can open VBox. In the box where it says operating system and below that the version. Is that the guest or host names that go there. My guess is it is guest. Things seem to be going well. Thanks Bob
Things went well til I got this message: FATAL: Could
not read from the boot medium! System halted. What do I do now? Bob
Additional error. Just noticed this. Failed to access the USB subsystem. Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might not be installed on the host computer. Details. Result Code: NS_ERROR_Failure (0x00004005) Component: Host Interface: IHost {dab4a2b8-c735-4f08-94fc-9bec84182e2f} OK Next steps?? Guess we are pretty close now, right? Bob
