DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (storahci.sys) --- BSOD Running on VirtualBox

Question
-
I'm trying to install the DP on VirtualBox, but I've got this error during the boot of the ISO image that I just downloaded from MSDN.
The host is a Windows 7 Professional x64, the processor is an AMD Phenom II X2 3.2GHz with Virtalization enabled.
Here is the error again
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (storahci.sys)
Does anyone have any idea of how to solve this problem?

I had this same issue. I changed my hard drive in VirtualBox from a SATA Controller in AHCI mode to and IDE Controller and it installed with no issues.
For the record, prior to experiencing the issue, I had created a new virtual machine and chose Windows 7 as the machine's OS. I kept all the default settings that VirtualBox sets for Windows 7. The only setting that changed was the hard drive controller. Worked fine after that.

Thanks -- this solution worked for me. I deleted the default SATA Controller, and established the VHD as IDE Controller (Primary Master):
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Virtual Box
