Thank you very much for the information. I successfully completed the installaion!

I tried to add an additional disk and made some progress. Synology Assistance successfully take the PAT file, go through successfully the following steps 1. network setting 2. format system area 3. format data area - NA 4. install DSM When it come to step 5, it fails. 5. write config file When checking on the VM, the following is shown, and the VM doesn't boot up GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22

I am using MSI 880GMA-E55 mother board with chipset (AMD 880G + SB850). It is running Win7 on a Seagate 500GB SATA2 HDD with latest version of Virtual box from Oracle (Ver 4.3.0 r89960) Also there is an additional WD 320GB SATA2 HDD. I am not familar with Virtual box. Previously I following some forum instruction and add the vdi file under IDE, and get the previous symtpom of cannot fins any HDD. This time I try to add the vdi file under SATA, and now it can successfuly find the HDD, and start with the progress bar. But it only hold for a few second, and then complain for cannot partition the HDD and then failed. Do I need to create additional storage in additional to the boot VDI? Or is there any other precaution I need? Many thanks.

Dear Expert, Can anyone help on this. I get the message of cannot find any hardisk after installing the PAT file on step 2 when it is trying to format the system area. I am using DSM_DS3612xs_2668.pat file after starting up synoboot.vdi from Virtual box. I am using a genuine Synology Assistance from my DS212J NAS for communicating to the VM.
