Try one of Ulrich's pre-installed images instead, and see if the
problem persists.

It could be something rare (RAM or hard drive problem), but for now
I'm assuming otherwise.

Maybe. Which version (5.x? 64-bit? host OS?) are you using? VT-X
enabled? Other relevant settings (e.g. memory managers loaded? HIMEMX
only? JEMMEX?)?

You could maybe file a VBox bug report, but you'd have to give them a
LOT more details. Besides, I don't think DOS is top priority for them
to fix anyways. Honestly, it's probably user error (more likely than
not) than actual bugs, but you never know.

> Is this a FreeDOS issue?

Highly doubtful. What kernel ("ver /r")? Never mind, presumably
whatever came with 1.1 (e.g. 2040).

You could also just use QEMU instead. Some prebuilt Windows binaries
(e.g. 2.5.0) are here:

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS installation using VirtualBox

[francisco ramirez]

Finally managed to complete the installation of FreeDOS under VirtualBox.I ran 
it successfully a few times.Today, I turned on the system and when I click on 
START in VirtualBox to start the FreeDOS I get the following error message:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine FreeDOS.
The virtual machine 'FreeDOS' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with 
exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 
'C:\Users\francisco\VirtualBox VMs\FreeDOS\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.


Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)Component: MachineWrapInterface: IMachine 
{f30138d4-e5ea-4b3a-8858-a059de4c93fd}
How can I troubleshoot this problem.Is this a VirtualBox issue?Is this a 
FreeDOS issue?
Thanks for anyone's help.
