[Solved] FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! Organisation Halted!

Hello

I am trying to boot Window 8.one on Mac El Capitan 10.eleven.half-dozen.

Am using Virtualbox 5.1.18

I updated last night to this versions and all was well. Went to kicking up this afternoon and got the error message FATAL: Could non read from the boot medium! Sysytem Halted.

I have looked through previous posts and can't find anything that is the same as that which I am experiencing and would be grateful for some help.

Here is the log in case it helps:

[Mod edit: removed partial, text just VBox.log]

Cheers in advance...

Fractional logs are not that useful. Please Nil and adhere the whole VBox.log.

Just to confirm, this was a previously working VM, and yous were not trying to start from a CD/DVD.

As far equally I am aware it boots from an ISO merely have also tried vdi which might be the wrong mode of going about it!

The ISO file though says it was created in March 2015 and hasn't been used since. Maybe the electric current one has been deleted? Or am I getting that wrong?

Anyway, full log fastened.

OK, then y'all should restore the fill-in and hope for the best...
Have you backed up the whole binder (/Users/timhodgson/VirtualBox VMs/), the VM folder (/Users/timhodgson/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 8.i Total/), or merely the VDI (/Users/timhodgson/VirtualBox VMs/Windows eight.1 Full/Windows 8.1 Full (original).vdi) ?

I take all options backed up in timemachine.

Windows 8.ane Full.vdi is only a indistinguishable of Windows 8.i Full(Original).vdi which I made just in case when this all happened and I was trying various options before contacting you.

My apologies! I thought I had answered the question. I'm not sure why I am getting this reaction.

However, to clarify:
I got the FATAL: Could not read... error the morn/afternoon I had updated to 5.1.18. The evening I updated the VM ran fine.
Upon getting the mistake message I looked upward if there was a mode to solve the issue and establish various ways including some suggestions on this forum but naught seemed to friction match my problem exactly.
I and then found a video on youtube which I used to try to prepare the issue. As part of doing this (so that I had a duplicate state) I duplicated the vdi which is why yous tin meet there is the original and another).
I made a feeble endeavour of changing Principal Master and Primary Slave but I still got the aforementioned error message. Frustratingly my bluetooth mouse and keyboard also disconnect which means I take to reboot my mac!

I hope this helps to clarify. Peradventure we can continue now?

And, yes, after doing all that I posted on here because I had hit a brick wall!!

I asked y'all a simple question:

socratis wrote:you made a copy of the .VDI, and and so ... y'all've switched HDs in the VM configuration?

That was information technology. You came back with repeating the error message (I've memorized information technology by now) and you didn't answer the question, only questioned what y'all did wrong. the only thing wrong is that you didn't tell me the whole story from the kickoff. Have you heard "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing just the truth" ? Well, that "whole" part was missing. You only answered it in your concluding mail service. Now I can have a clearer moving picture of what happened.

If you made a copy of a corrupt file, then the copy will be corrupt as well. So changing disks, moving them from main to secondary or anything else won't matter. Your only hope is that the backup is not corrupt.

Since you know how to replace a VDI in a VM, I'm going to try and keep information technology simple for you and me:

  • Release the current Hd from the VM.
  • You can delete it if y'all want, but make sure that if you become to the Media Manager (Cmd-D) it'due south non at that place.
  • Restore the VDI from the TimeMachine fill-in and add information technology dorsum to your VM.
