Hi Joe. I am not sure if these steps work or not, but here are some things that I would try......... 1) Load the VM in VMWare, remove the VMWare tools 2) shutdown 3) add an IDE disk (any disk, doesn't matter) 4) start the VM 5) shut the VM down. 6) when you are building the VM on VirtualBox set the disk to use an IDE controller. Another option may be to boot the VM in VMWare, then into the device manager and add a legacy device, and select LSI Logic. When you are building your VM in vbox, make sure the scsi adapter type is LSI logic. Have a great day!
