Windows 7 on VirtualBox

Hi!

I’ve been trying to install windows 7 as a host using VirtualBox, i set it up with 1024mb of ram and a 10Gb fixed size hard disk space but i can’t even have it boot from the DVD. It starts the “windows is loading files” process and then crashed, giving out a meaningless “0xc0000001″ error. VirtualBox is version 2.0.2 on a windows XP machine.

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks!

As far as i know the main problem is hard drive in you case, in my friend's VirtualBox Windows7 is taking 13.9GB. You should use dynamically expanding image, since you never know how much space you’re going to need.

I don't know about VirtualBox, but I can definitely say that Windows 7 works just fine as a host os and a guest VM with Virtual PC.
