## Note on updating the disk image
|
||||
When you go to update the disk image in the future and replace the current VDI, you will notice the virtual machine will no longer boot. This is because VirtualBox gives an identifier to the disk image, and changing the disk image makes the identifiers no longer match up.
|
||||
|
||||
You will also notice that you cannot remove disk images from the **Hard Disk Selector**.
|
||||
|
||||
The way around this is to use a different file name for each VDI you generate. You will then have to:
|
||||
1. Open **Settings** and go to **Storage**.
|
||||
2. Right click the current drive and click **Remove Attachment**.
|
||||
3. Click on the **Controller** and then click the add hard disk icon. Add the new VDI and click **Choose**.
|
||||
4. You should see the new drive attached. Make sure **Hard Disk** is set to **IDE Primary Master**.
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, this is a mess. You can delete the old disk images without any issues. If you know a solution for this, *please* let us know.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuring the virtual machine to boot Serenity
|
||||
Serenity will not be able to boot with the default configuration. There are a couple settings to adjust. Open **Settings** and:
|
||||
1. Go to **System**, open the **Processor** tab and tick **Enable PAE/NX**.
