Boot USB Tails through VirtualBox?

Question

So I have Tails 1.2 on my USB (Disk 5) and also on a partition (2) on an external hard drive (Disk 4). The USB shows up as 3.75GB and the partition is 6GB. I want to be able to boot either Disk 4 or Disk 5 through virtualbox but can't seem to get around the following error Tails throws a bit after choosing to boot.

I have tried following the following tutorials:

 - http://www.howtogeek.com/187721/how-to-boot-from-a-usb-drive-in-virtualbox
 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvYkujvUXhc
 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWyEXGtMQjE

Here is the error after trying to boot the partition (with the rest of my computer):

microcode: CPU0 update to revision 0x29 failed

All three of the tutorials above still gave me the same error booting up tails as in the image. I have tried remounting the tails iso to both the partition and usb using Universal USB Installer and Rufus. I have also redownloaded the iso twice. What else can I try? Is what I'm attempting to do even possible?

EDIT: I have also gotten a new 16gb flash drive to test and gotten the exact same error still.

Solution

The problem probably comes from using Universal USB Installer and Rufus.

Please try using Tails Installer instead:

1. Machine > Settings > Storage > CD/DVD Rive > Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file...
2. Open the tails-i386-[version].iso file you downloaded and boot from that.
3. Start Tails.
4. When you started go Application > Tails > Tails Installer, then use Clone & Install to create your Live USB

Note: the partition used by Tails will not be visible in Windows, it will display an unpartitioned drive. Note 2: If you use Tails in a Virtual Machine the host OS sees everything.
