Then I noticed it had chewed up ALL of C! (even after I had uninstalled it). I had over 100 GB left (before I installed Virtualbox), and late last night, it had gone down to 32 mb of space! I know that was the cause, because in the end, I had to do a format to fix it. And C is back to what was before (136 GB left) You probably wont notice, (or get the above message), unless you use a x64 OS in Virtualbox	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1210040	2011-06-17 09:40:00	I think it only happens if / when you use a 64 bit OS and a 64 bit VM. Well whatever caused it (It wasn't me, I wont be using it again )	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1210041	2011-06-17 10:08:00	I had windows server 2008 running in a VM on my x64 laptop, along with win xp 32x and a couple of ubuntu images for a system admin class. Can't recall if the server 2008 was x64, but I didn't have any problem deleting the VDI files I was given. Personally, I found the use of 6-8gb virtual files on my hard drive offensive, since I don't like big files unless they're entertaining. And these VDI's weren't.	8ftmetalhaed (14526)
1210042	2011-06-17 10:13:00	I deleted the VDI files (after it had been uninstalled), but in the meantime the 136 GB I had left was reduced to 32 mb. Thats probably why it said it couldnt delete the VM and files (when I chose the option). It fills up the hdd, so there's nothing left, and the system crashes Even after a reboot. With the amount of programs, I had installed before, (and now) it was nowhere near 200 GB the size of the partition	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1210043	2011-06-17 10:25:00	Nope, no issues, I have Win7 x64 as the host, and Win Xp (32bit) plus 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008 64-bit hosts in VirtualBox no probs.	inphinity (7274)

Trying to delete the VDI's caused the host to hang	aidanmaz (7180)
