I installed the Windows Vista VM, when I run the Vista VM it prompts to start in safe mode or a normal, regardless what option I choose, the boot process restarts and doesn't boot into Vista. I originally gave 1.7 gigs of system memory for the VM, I reduced that to 1.2 gigs hoping the problem would go away. Could it be because I have little free space left ?

Jump to PostWhat virtual machine manager are you using? What is the host operating system? Did you verify the ISO or DVD that you used to install Vista - the disc checksum (usually an md5 or sha256 checksum)?

Try increasing the gig space. If that doesn't work, delete the Windows Vista ISO and then re-download it fresh and try the new ISO to see whether the problem will persist or not.

Oracle VM Virtual Box, on Windows 8.1 Pro. You can check a VHD file ? I did not do a checksum check on the file, as I wasn't aware you could ?
