    I'm real sorry if this is the wrong forum (virtualbox has its own forum but i dont wanna register for a oracle account). I have installed virtualbo on my windows 7 64-bit HP edition so i can run windows 8 64-bit on it but for some reason it gets stuck on expanding files (2%) and than 10 min later or so i get a error saying that it cant find the installation files. I'm curently trying to takea screenshot. Does anybody know a fix? The 32-bit version works but since its 32-bit it only detects 3.5 GB of RAM

    EDIT: Here is the screenshot with the error

    Could be a bad .iso. Are you loading from an iso file or a DVD?
