Has someone of you been able to get a working VM after system restart? Looks like the MBR patch is looping and waiting to find a signature and it doesn't find it. So the system hangs and it doesn't start. Tried on x64 too with VirtualBox and it doesn't start at all

What Windows are you using? Windows 7 x64? Which one? (Ultimate,Professional,Home Premium, etc...) and what system language?

Install it on VMWare with IDE type of disk. It must work, my x64 boxes all working well. Actually this is same pain in the back side of the body like with other bootkits earlier.

VMWare 7.0.1, Windows 7 Professional x64 EN, no debug, IDE disk

After restart, system hangs on "Starting Windows" window and it doesn't go ahead (or it takes ages maybe? I'm not waiting for more than 10 minutes)
