I am trying to run Sage 5.13 on Virtualbox 4.8.2, and successfully imported it, but now whenever I run the virtual machine it gives me this:

GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: incompatible license
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

I'm running it on Windows 7, my laptop is a hp pavilion dv6-6135dx.

Oops.  It's 4.3.8.  Just downloaded the new version today.

Your VM boot sector and grub modules don't match. Did you add extra drives to your VM, are you sharing a bootable USB stick or floppy/cd/dvd drive? Try importing the VM again without making any manual changes from the defaults.

I imported the VM with the default settings.  No added cores or anything.  Does it make a difference it my laptop is quad core?
