IGN Guides says...
In Chapter 6: The Fall, there are six sealed metal doors marked VITRIFIED ("Vitrified Doors") that have buttons in front of them that play unique audio clips of Cave speaking. At the beginning of Chapter 6 you'll have to penetrate the 1960s Aperture facility. After flying through the Aperture logo you'll come to an area with a tall elevator. You must use the elevator shaft as a gravity boost to get across a chasm. On one end of this chasm is a platform with three of the Vitrified Doors. Listen to the audio that plays when you hit the buttons in front of each of the sealed doors.

Now, play through the level until you get to the 1971-era test facility. At this point, Cave will start talking about testing on hobos and you'll know you are in the right area. Below one of the test spheres and a giant Aperture logo in its 70s cooper Black Font is a room marked CONTROL ROOM in yellow lettering. You can use a portal to get high above the Control Room and enter a small office. In the corner of this office is a cabinet with a door behind it. Enter this door to find a secret hallway that leads to a dock (see Ship Overboard Achievement /Trophy). The final three Vitrified Doors can be found here. Watch the Door Prize Video here.

Drop Box
Place a cube on a button without touching the cube
Melad says...
For this Achievement / Trophy, go to Chapter 2, Test Chamber 6 (same room as Final Transmission). After you hit the button for the trash, shoot a portal at the first slanted platform you enter, and the look at the button where the cube is meant to go. Above it is a white wall. Shoot your second portal there. Press the button for the cube to drop and you'll get the Trophy / Achievement earned.

Alternate Strategy from Edd Ryves: You can also get this in Chapter 3 in the area where you first encounter the turrets. The last part of the test area has 3 cubes in it. Use 2 cubes to defeat the turrets in the room but do not touch one of the 3. when you have got the room cleared stand on the button and shoot a portal directly up, then return the the unmoved cube and shoot a portal directly underneath it and presto!

Finally, you can check out a video fo us getting Drop Box right here.
