A new version of this AROS distribution has been released. VmwAROS is available in two flavours: a virtual environment for VMware, and a live-cd that runs on top of real hardware, which can be installed on the hard drive as any other operating system. This new version includes lots of new games and applications for AROS, includes a complete C, C++ environment and E interpreter, and fixes an annoying compatibility problem that plagues current nightly builds on some hardware, by using a second "emergency" kernel. Users who couldn't boot the 0.7 versions should try this new one.

Did you install it new in Virtual Box or run an existing VMware .vmdk file? I tried to do the latter.
If I try to install it new, I think that would be akin to installing an existing license on new hardware, which would violate the evil license terms. Even if not, it would require [I forget what you call it when you get Microsoft's blessing on an initial install], which I doubt Microsoft would agree to.
I didn't work very hard to solve the problem because it works well enough the way it is.
If others are trying to solve this, I just noticed a note on the Virtual Box wiki that discusses a problem with Windows memorizing IDE/ATA controllers. That may be the problem, and they offer a solution here: http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows
