Hi Christopher
You are right, the VBox.log comes from a stuck session.
Both of my drivers are NTFS. The system drive (C:) is SSD, the second one (D:) is HDD.
I have got an idea. I can install the Sailfish OS SDK on my portable drive (with the VirtualBox) and try to run it on my notebook (Win 8 Pro x64) and my PC (Win 7 Home Premuim x64). I can also try to run the emulator in Fedora 18 (installed on my portable drive) on my notebook to found out if there goes about a defect of hardware or software. (I am sorry for my English)
I can not use my portable drive right now so I will send results as soon as possible.
Thank you
Michal
