Head to Storage, click HighSierra.iso in the Storage Tree panel, then click the CD icon at top-right and click Remove Disk from Virtual Drive.

Unfortunately, youre not really supposed to do thisso getting macOS running in VirtualBox is, to say the least, tricky.

Some of the folks at the InsanelyMac forums have figured out a process that works.

The only thing not working is sound, which for some reason is highly distorted or nonexistent.

Other than that, though, this is macOS High Sierra, running smoothly in VirtualBox.

You could, we suppose, obtain a High Sierra ISO by other means, but we dont recommend it.

Borrow a friends Mac for an hour if you dont have one, and you should be fineeverything beyond step one of this tutorial can be done on your Windows PC.

Grab your borrowed Mac, head to the Mac App Store, search for Sierra, and click Download.

We dont want to upgrade your friends Mac; we just need the downloaded files.

Name your Virtual Machine High Sierra, and choose Mac OS X for the operating system and Mac OS X (64-bit) for the version (as of this writing, macOS High Sierra is not offered, but thats fine.).

For memory, we recommend you use at least 4096MB, though you can opt for more if you have enough RAM to spare on your Windows machine.

Youll be asked if you want a dynamically sized drive or fixed.

We recommend Fixed Size, since its a bit faster, though itll take up a bit more hard drive space on your Windows machine.

Depending on your storage situation, you could offer more, but we dont think you can really use much less than that.

Click the CD icon at the top right, then browse to the High Sierra ISO file you created earlier.

Sadly, there are no options for this from VirtualBoxs interface, so youll need to open the Command Prompt.

Paste the following commands, pressing Enter after each one and waiting for it to complete.

If the command did not work, make sure your virtual machine is named High Sierra exactly; if it isnt, edit the commands above putting your machines name in the quotes.

You will see a lot of superfluous information as this happensand I mean a lot but dont worry about it.

Before you do anything else, however, click Disk Utility then Continue.

Do not create an AFS partition, because it will not work and youll have to start over with a new virtual hard drive.

Click Erase, then close Disk Utility when the process is complete.

Eventually your virtual machine will restart and take youback to the installer.

For whatever reason this does not work on the virtual machine, which is why youre seeing the installer again.
