I am trying to set up Windows in Virtual Box, so I don't need to reboot in the rare occasion that I actually need it.
The problem is, Virtual Box doesn't preform any errors when I insert the 32bit installation CD but when I try to use the 64bit installation;
What!? I am already using the installation disc!
I've checked my BIOS to see if I have SVM (AMD's version of VT) disabled and all I see is "Enabled"
- I have a K9N6PGM2-V2 motherboard
- A Triple Core AMD Athlon II
- A Nvdia NForce 430 integrated graphics card
- 4GB of RAM
- An 80GB IDE
- And a 1TB SATA
I don't think the last three specifications matter but just in case XP
I am pretty sure the CD isn't broken ( I am going to make sure in just a moment ), what could be the cause to this problem?
Edit: The 64bit installation CD is not broken, but I found out when trying to install from the 32bit version that it's trying to upgrade, not preform a fresh install - Odd.
