#708 fixed Unable to install Linux/Win XP in guest on Vista Frank
Description

Hello, I installed Virtualbox 1.5 on my computer. I could create virtual machines for ubuntu (7.04) and knoppix. Both are running from live-CDs (ISO) fine, I downloaded the latest versions.

But when I try to install both on the virtual harddrive it fails. I checked several things with ubuntu:

  1. starting with automtic creating of drives, this fails with a error message "unable to create swap.."
  2. creating a root and swap with gparted from the live-CD before the

installation, then start installation, it looks fine, but after 34 % (copying files) it stopped, nothing is happening for hours, no progress.

I tried knoppix as well (knoppix-installer) it started an as well but stopped during copying files on the virtual harddisk

Finaly I tried to install Win XP from CD: It booted from CD, installation started, I created a new partition; during formatting, it always stopps with 20 % progress.

For me it does not look like a problem with Linux or XP, more something related to Virtualbox, the Host-System or Hardware. May be it is related to SATA?

I am using the following system: Dell Dimensiom E521 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 4 GB RAM Radeon X1300 2 x 320 GB HD (SATA)

Host: Windows Vista Home Premium

#709 fixed I can't compact linux guest VDIs efficiently Christophe Muller
Description

I'm wondering if I'm the only one having this problem (?). Using the VBoxManage modifyvdi name.vdi compact command, and after zeroing the disk, I am able to always recover space on FAT32 partitions (Windows guests) but I could never succeed doing that with Linux guests, either on ext2 or ext3 partitions. I have being also zeroing them with dd if=/dev/zero or with the zerofree method described in the forums but nothing seems to work. On FAT32 I have a vdi which is maybe 10% bigger of what Windows tells as size. On ext2 it can be as bad as a partition containing 250 MB (that's what du and df say) gives me a 2GB VDI!! (after compacting). It's a / partition of a Debian/Etch minimum install and I zeroed it using a rescue iso disk. I really can't see what I'm doing wrong! Thanks for your help.
