Here is my version I'm using.

I'm running right now the boot up is from v3.2rc5 but the 001 002 and 003 is part of v3.2.2. I'm doing this to test it because I can't just boot up the new release of v3.2.2 Mate it just hang up.

@jack:
To familiarize yourself with vbox would be a first step before installing windows into it. As a first step, I would just install porteus as a guest into porteus as an host. and then install windows when you understand vbox. It is really simple once you understand how it works. As mentioned, it happens that some build of vbox are not functioning well and that then you get an error message.

In addition, do you have a functional windows 7 OS disk?
Looks like a bad VirtuBox module. I will check the module on the server. You can rebuild it by activating the 05_devel and crippled sources module and from a root terminal type: update-vbox
Did you followed brokenman`s instructions with the command update-vbox?

I have vbox working on another USB. It get up to this point. Here is a screen shot. I don't think it is a ERROR at this point. It just dose not have anything to do that what I think.

In addition, do you have a functional windows 7 OS disk?
I do have a working copy of Windows 7 32bit of starter and home. I have a working copy Windows 7 64bit of home. With the Key's to Activate them.
As a first step, I would just install porteus as a guest into porteus as an host.
If I knew how to do I would try it. Can anyone help me on this?

The original vbox module would not be operational.
Rebuild by activating the 05_devel and crippled sources module and from a root terminal type:

Code: Select all

update-vbox
Porteus guest on porteus host for a 64bit guest on 64 bit host
Open vbox
Fill info
New
Name: porteus322 #your choice in one word
linux
other linux
next

Memory: 1024 MB #I prefer to double the 512 proposed value
next

Create virtual hard disk now #For porteus 8 gig is good enough, for windows you will need twice depending on how much you want eventually your window virtual hdd to be.
Create
VDI
dynamically allocated
create

Almost there.

Now you have to select porteus iso, or later windows cd when you will make a windows 7 virtual guest.
Settings
Storage
Stortage tree: empty disk Attribute: optical drive (select the disk icon) find porteus.iso
Select iso

Start porteus guest.

Note 1: you can only install a porteus 64 bit guest on a porteus 64 bit host. Same for 32 bit guest and 32 bit host.

Note 2: I get two errors the error one is remediated. The second one is not on my system. Replication is needed:
Use of update-vbox will build a functional vbox module which will issue the following 2 errors:

1.0 error /sbin/vboxconfig
root@porteus:/home/guest# /sbin/vboxconfig
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
***takes much time but eventually works. ***

2,0 Porteus guest will boot until syslinux menu, then error:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=6519

Code: Select all

... this kernel requires a x86_64 CPU, but only i686 CPU. Unable to boot.

I'm using v3.2rc5 and I have a question.

When I run VBox builder there two ways so I built both. Which to use or both?

1. VirtualBox-5.1.12-porteus-v3.2rc5-x86_64-1prt.xzm

2. vbox-guest-5.1.12-porteus-v3.2rc5-x86_64-1prt.xzm

I can't show you but this is where I receive the two ways.

VirtualBox-5.1.12 is the virtualization program
vbox additions is only some addition to the main program. It is used to adjust the definition of the virtual screen.

So you can use both of them?

I try to start v3.2.2 in Graphics mode but never booted up then I try this. I started v3.2.2 in Always Fresh mode and after 5 minute of boot up time. Here is the output of VBox. I set it up like the YouTube video show me to do it. Here is the screen shot of what I received.

And the ERROR I did received.

These is just a thought.

1. Is it possible that the USB wasn't big enough?
2. It was only a 4gb USB or will I have to use a 16gb or a 32gb?
3. Do you think that Mint Linux has to be on a DVD to install?

Look if you can enable it in vbox.
settings > system > Acceleration-Tab > check "Enable VT-x/AMD-V"

If it is greyed out
you may have virtualization disabled on the host computer. To enable:
Go to your host computer's BIOS (press F12, or Delete, or F2, ... depends on computer).
Find some options regarding virtualization.

If there is such an option, enable it, save it
and switch the PC off and on again.

I also got a little problem with virtualbox.

I have set up porteus 3.2.2 xfce with devel module and virtualbox module downloaded from server.
Virtualbox works fine so far. I imported OVA image from Microsoft with IE11 and Win7.
I´d like to use USB 2.0 in the VM but it tells me it needs extension pack for this. So i downloaded extension pack from USM. When i change setting from USB 1.1 to 2.0 it still says incorrect settings - need to install extension pack.
Where is the problem???

@ fred08155

The virtualbox module on server = 5.1.10
extension-pack via usm = 5.0.14
this does not match.

try the Vbox-builder to get the newest vbox and guest addons
menu > system > vbox builder (in XFCE)
