Virtualbox HDD not found

morteza_ipo · 2014-04-09 03:35:37

Hi
I install virtualbox on my system.
and after that I ran these commands: dkms autoinstall ; modprobe vboxdrv
When I boot Centos 6 or WindowsXP or Debian in my Virtualbox, they can't detect Virtualbox allocated size for them (for example 8G)
I think my Virtualbox package or config have some problem.

CentOS:

WindowsXP:

How can I solve that?

Thanks for your advice

Welcome to Arch Linux.

Why are you asking what is primarily a CentoOS issue on the Arch Linux forums? As this is your first post here, it is unclear as to whether the host is even Arch.
Regardless, we cannot help you with a CentOS question.

I am leaving this open as this was your first post and do not want to alienate you right out of the gate

The CentOS was an example. I tried with other OS , I have the same problem.

The "Other OS"? I do not understand.

What is the issue? Are you running Arch? Is Arch the host for VirtualBox?
Did you create a blank "Disk" for VirtualBox? Inside the machine, did you format it from the guest OS? It does not look like you did.

From what I can gather, you're running VirtualBox on your Arch Linux system and trying to install CentOS? The screenshot you have posted it completely normal for CentOS - it's basically telling you there is nothing on the drive.

Either way, none of this appears to be an Arch Linux issue.

I checked with Windows XP and Debian7 , unfortunately all of them could not find the Virtualbox size that allocated for them.
I think my virtualbox package or config has some problems.

What size?

I allocated 8G for Windowsxp . and I did it again for Debian.

And the screenshot you've posted says "8192mb", which is 8G.......?

I updated my main post. please don't consider that screenshot.

So you've removed the only bit of information to help us understand and debug the problem, leaving us with only this to go on?

What *do* they find? What did the screenshot have to do with anything that it now doesn't? Please read up on how to ask smart questions and provide as much information as you can; we aren't psychics.

CentOS:
http://oi60.tinypic.com/5kiyqb.jpg

This is normal CentOS installation as explained in an earlier post -- the 8G disk is there (it says 8192MB).

WindowsXP:
http://oi62.tinypic.com/15p3kgx.jpg

Where's the information? When does this error come up (before, after, during installation)? What version are you trying to install exactly? Did you see or do anything "unusual" during the installation? They're all Windows issues though, which we can't help with -- most of us are here because we actively choose to avoid using Windows.

About CentOS I tried "Re-initialized" and in installing it crashed. means I just have a blue dialog that has <Tab>/<Alt-Tab> (the footer of Centos screenshot) and without any body. installer crashed. and when I reboot that it told me no bootable file found.
And About WindowXP when I boot my ISO for installing , it got me this error before anything.
////
but when I installed virtualbox on other Linux distro like ubuntu , it works fine. but here I don't know what is my problem
hrer I just installed virtualbox + virtualbox-guest-modules + virtualbox-host-modules + virtualbox-host-dkms
and tried modprob vboxdrv
and dkms autoinstall
I don't know why I can't installed any OS in my VirtualBox

This had better start leading to somewhere where there is a connection to Archlinux. fukawi2 has been very considerate with you, but if this has nothing to do with Arch then I will close this thread as per our policy.
