:? I'm trying to install Windows2000 in Virtual Box and have tried 3 different flavors and they all do the same thing! They just keep repeating the first part of the installation! Am I not doing something I should? Any help would be appreciated!! Host computer is ASUS Laptop w/ 4Gb RAM & 500Gb HD! OS is Debian8! Thanks!! wolf-nv

    I bet the CD image is still loading up when you run the VM. Go into the vBox settings and select the hard drive to boot first instead of the CD.

    Windows 2000 *should* give you the option to press any key to enter setup. Are you using floppies to start the install? Only other thing I can think of is something is stopping the boot sector/partition table being written to correctly.

    How big is the image. If you are going past 137 GB, you need my 48b disk access hack.

    Can you tell us exactly what the error is: is it a bluescreen or what. Did you set the active flag on the partition.
