| #708 | fixed | Unable to install Linux/Win XP in guest on Vista | ||
| 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:
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 | ||
| 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. |
