Critical error start WIN2K

[Edward Yang]

I have a guest Windows 2000 (Chinese edition) that has been running under Virtual PC 2007. Recently I decided to move it to VB. But this guest OS freezes (keyboard and mouse not working) at logon screen. I can click on X button of hosting window and send shutdown signal, the guest OS shuts down gracefully.

I had no major prolem with another Windows 2000 (English) guest OS which was also moved from Virtual PC.

I had the same problem with an English version of Windows 2000 Pro. See attached log (VBox.2.log).

One interesting thing of this log file is line 18:

00:00:00.723 File system of 'D:\VPC\VHD\Windows 98 CHS.vhd' is ntfs

That vhd is actually FAT32 (it is the boot disk of a Windows 98 CHS), why it is reported as ntfs?

I restarted the English Windows 2000 and I wanted to remove the irrelevant Windows 98 CHS.vhd so I was shutting down it... VB crashed (see attachment).

The line reports the file system where the virtual file is located, not the file system 'inside' the virtual disk.

I think it's a rare issue, most probably it's caused by the guest OS itself. Please close this report.
