Metasploitable 2 stuck at starting up

3.1k Views Asked by At

I have installed a metasploitable 2 VM on my virtual box penetesting lab. I used the download straight from Rapid7's website and still I am having issues. The VM is also setup using a internal network that I setup for all of the VM's to communicate. It has been stuck at starting up for the past hour. I have also tried to reinstall the VM, but still no luck. If you have any answers on how to make it run please responnd. This is what has looked like for the past hour

I had this problem also, and it seemed to be due to the vmdk file being on another HD from VirtualBox. I copied it over to the C drive where virtual box was, deleted the old VM that wasn't working and started a new one with the copied vmdk.
