Opened a community bug report [BLOCKER!!!] https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17811
Great advance in my research : On my exact same laptop, downgrading my 8TB SSD (Micron 5100 series) to a simple 1TB HDD (Seagate Barracuda) let's VirtualBox work! I keep UEFI+GPT boot. So UEFI+GPT is not a problem. Big system disk is. Disk image transfer is done via Clonezilla-live-2.5.5-amd64. I have another desktop PC (Phantom) with the same 8TB SSD, Windows 7, which works like a charm. But on the desktop, the big storage is not bootable / system disk. The desktop uses BIOS+MBR with another smaller SSD, as a system drive. So, is it VirtualBox doesn't like big storage for system disk ? (>2TiB) Or Clonezilla fails to write to big SSD? Or...? -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
