I've seen this happening when using a dynamically allocated disk image. Try using a pre-allocated disk image instead, one that won't grow. You could also just try again until it works.

I won't turn this into a real answer as it's just me waving my hands without proper proof. — Kusalananda, Oct 22, 2021 at 15:23
What kind of HD controller are you using? If it's ATA/PATA try SATA or SCSI. — Krackout, Oct 22, 2021 at 16:40

You need to change the VM from dynamically allocated to fixed size on the physical HDD.

Unchecking "enable I/O APIC" fixes this.
