The log file shows that you definitely didn't type "Device". That would show up in the configuration dump in the log. Instead you set both IRQdelay (note you got the case incorrect here) to 3 and IRQDelay to 1 (which is correct). To get rid of the incorrect configuration entry, do VBoxManage setextradata win2000 VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/IRQdelay i.e. leave out the value to delete a config key. What I cannot explain so far is the cryptic error message you get. It should complain about the incorrect configuration key. -- Dr. Klaus Espenlaub innotek AG, http://www.innotek.de _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
