However, the main disadvantage of this tool is that it can be too complicated for beginners on emulation. Plus, you can create custom boot entries for personalizing boot entries and add support for other operating systems. It has easy controls using the function keys on your keyboard. This bootloader tool also enables you to customize the GUI-personalizing the themes, icons, fonts, background images, animations, and even the mouse pointers. Meanwhile, the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is much modern and had replaced the legacy BIOS interface.

Already pre-installed in computers, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the common firmware for older PC models. What it does is it boots directly to the firmware-either the UEFI or BIOS firmware-to emulate the operating systemР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s interface.

I hope dev team could patch virtualbox efi booting function in future, but before all things done, could you put this solution into virtualbox wiki? It takes me a long time to find it out, so I hope other people could fix the same thing easier.Clover EFI Bootloader does exactly this, allowing macOS, Windows, and Linux systems to run on Mac or Windows PCs. If this step not work, do some google work about clover-efi configuration. Then go to 'storage' tab, mount the iso file downloaded in first step to optical drive.Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚РЋinal, start the virtual machine, you should enter clover-efi interface, and choose the windows icon then your computer should boot up win 7 without any fault. Third, using virtualbox manager create a new virtual machine(win 7), change 'system'-'boot order' set optical prior than hard disk, unclick 'enable efi'. Second, create vmdk file using raw disk which have windows on it. Suppose you have already installed Windows 7 Р В Р’ВµР РЋРЎв„ўР Р†Р вЂљР’В 4 uefi and Linux on your computer, and each OS could boot via UEFI from hard disk, your BIOS support legacy(bios) booting mode.Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚РЋirst, go to download a latest ISO of clover-efi which is originally designed for booting osx on PC. But there is a easy way to do this in virtualbox.

The tech is descripted in mentioned by coderforlife. It took me a hole sunday afternoon to find a trick cross this virtualbox defect. Even better if it could be made automatic in VirtualBox (basically, a pseudo-VGA system). If so, I section should be added to the help manual.

If this will never be implemented, is it possible to circumvent this using techniques outlined in (basically, creating the memory dumps of the VGA bios code and then loading it before the OS loads). If desired, to make it so this unofficial 'addition' to EFI is not always on, it could be selectable if it is available or not (like changing between GOP and UGA is right now, but this would be in addition to those and not one or the other). Since VGA video is already implemented in VirtualBox (when using BIOS) and UEFI already supports multiple video systems (GOP and UGA), wouldn't it be easy (for someone with knowledge about them) to simply allow VGA to be accessed while in EFI? According to d3vi1 the problem is because Windows requires VGA video (from PCAT BIOS) in addition to GOP/UGA (from EFI). I know this is an old ticket, but it still hasn't been addressed.
