Hello all,
I have been wrestling with this problem off and on for several weeks now and I am in need of some assistance.
I was hoping to try out Windows 8 in Virtualbox. I downloaded the 32-bit iso file and set up the machine in Virtualbox. When I went to load the iso file under Settings > Storage I am presented with the following error:
Failed to open the CD/DVD image /home/davey/Documents/Virtual OS images/Windows8-ReleasePreview-32bit-English.iso.
Could not get the storage format of the medium '/home/davey/Documents/Virtual OS images/Windows8-ReleasePreview-32bit-English.iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).
Result Code: VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)
Component: Medium
Interface: IMedium {53f9cc0c-e0fd-40a5-a404-a7a5272082cd}
Callee: IVirtualBox {c28be65f-1a8f-43b4-81f1-eb60cb516e66}
Interestingly, when I run the 64-bit iso on my 32-bit host I am able to boot up the machine but then it crashes during start up (most likely because of the incomputable architecture). Any assistance with this would really be appreciated. I have become quite frustrated with this.
Thanks!
