Hello FlyTech, I downloaded Vista iso to virtualbox and I stuck in bluescreen Windows setup (at the screen on left down, I stuck at "Setup is starting Windows..." ). What do I do ?

[lywoh]

The fact that he downloaded a virtual machine on a virtual machine is like wow

Fly, I have a question. My PC cannot run any system. What's edition You are using? (I remember watching a video where You choose home pro edition or Something Like this I don't remember) My PC is pro edition. So, If I'll downoload Windows again but as home or home pro, it will Work?
