无法在VirtualBox上启动VM映像

Question

I am unable to start any Ubuntu VM image that I create using the VirtualBox that I have installed on my PC.

For example, I create a new VM -> select 64 bit Ubuntu -> allocate 1024 MB RAM -> Create a Virtual Hard drive now -> etc etc and finish up till the end. When I click on start I get the following error dialog immediately:

I am using a Windows 7 - 64 bit machine with 4 GB RAM. The VirtualBox version that I have installed is 4.3.16 which happens to be the latest. I also tried with previous versions but with no success.

I also confirmed that the Virtualization option is enabled in the BIOS Menu (so that doesn't seem to be the problem).

The error log messages generated in the log file are as follows :

I have also tried opening Ubuntu.iso image and a pre built Ubuntu.vdi image but no matter what I try I keep getting the same error. Could someone please help me in resolving this ?

Answer 1

如果要运行Ubuntu的iso映像，则必须进入VirtualBox菜单并添加一个提供该iso映像路径的新CD-ROM设备。

Answer 2

I encountered the same Issue. I used 4.3.16 and tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit). It was not working giving me the same errorcode 0x80004005.

I remember that I had that working some time ago using Virtualbox Version 4.2.16, I found the old installer and installed it. It magically worked.

So if someone knows WHY this works for the given setup please edit my answer.

Answer 3

After I changed (/upgraded) the Motherboard and CPU of my PC, I get the same error even enabled the virtualization mode of CPU in BIOS. Then by searching the Internet, I get the info said that the instruction set may have been changed because of changing the Motherboard and CPU.

We can try the following solutions:

1. Export the virtual machines in current VBox to backup our virtual PCs.
2. Re-install the latest VBox software.
3. (Optional) Try to import the .ova img from the first step into the new VBox, and check if it works or not. If yes, good luck. You have done, otherwise going down.
4. Re-install the OS of Host PC finally. I have tested that the .ova img from the first step with VBox version 4.3.28 can be imported into my friend's VBox on his PC, and also the vm system of mine in his VBox started correctly.
