Hi,
I tried to start a Virtual Machine in VBox which has a .vmdk file as harddisk attached to it but it will not boot. I'm using version 2.1.2 VirtualBox. Here is the log I'm getting
00:00:03.511 Guest Log: BIOS: Boot from Floppy 0 failed 00:00:03.512 Guest Log: BIOS: CDROM boot failure code : 0003 00:00:03.512 Guest Log: BIOS: Boot from CD-ROM failed 00:00:03.514 Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from Hard Disk... 00:00:03.835 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0000/0000/0001! 00:00:03.835 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0000/0000/0001! 00:00:03.835 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0000/0000/0001! 00:00:03.835 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0000/0000/0001! 00:00:03.835 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0000/0000/0001! 00:00:03.835 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0000/0000/0001! 00:00:03.836 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0000/0000/0001!

Please could you attach the complete log? Use the attach function. And could you attach the .vmdk descriptor file as well (only the descriptor, not the real hard disk image please).

Alexander, could you attach the file Windows XP Professional.vmdk as well? I assume that this is a descriptor file.

Hi,
The Windows XP Professional.vmdk file is the actual VMware disk file of about 7Gb, I suppose you don't need that. The .vmx file is the descriptor file which you already have.

Hello,
I have the same issue it seems... Tried to use several vmware images (XP and W2k) within VBox. Also .vdi file created using "VBoxManage clonehd" showed the same error: Stuck on start-up with result as shown in attached "mac-lover log". I have attached the original .vmx file (I guess this is the descriptor file) as well. Hpe there is a simple solution..
Cheers, Claude

Reopen only if this doesn't work. You can't migrate Windows systems easily, just like you can't expect a hard disk with a Windows installation of one computer to just work when putting it into another.
