I am setting up a virtual machine to host a Windows XP environment with specific legacy software to replace a customer's broken Dell MTC2 desktop. I used Disk2vhd to generate a VHD from the customer's IDE hard disk and created the virtual machine with VirtualBox. The system begins to boot but then stops with the following BSOD error: If I copy the C:\WINDOWS directory from a different Win XP installation to this same drive and boot from...

Hello, is there any way to virtualize win 7 and later, or linux on win xp profesional? Unfortunately, most virtualization devices no longer support win xp. It doesn't have to be a powerful solution, especially if the OS can somehow get a few fps up and running ..read more

Dear Everyone. You really helped me before, so I'm hoping you can help me again. This question's just as dumbass as the last one... I've got a 2T hard drive. It's been partitioned into two 1T hard drives, so C: and D:. XP's on C:. IF I put Win 7 on D: can I dual boot between the 2 on startup (if so, am I automatically given the choice or do I have to download software to let me do this) and would I have to reinstall XP after installing 7? Part 2 of the same dumbass question - is there... Read more ..read more

Hi, I previously used Nlite to make a custom xp install with the sp3 slipstream feature, it also let me install drivers for the sata drive. Upon installation I had a variety of issues like missing files. Anyway today I wanted to just make a original xp disc using the driver packs software however I get error messages. I first tried using nlite but when I choose to add the driver packs folder the attached printscreen shows you it doesn't let you just happily add it. There are no .inf files... Read more ..read more

Hi, I finally got xp installed to my laptop, however, I have run into a problem. The software I want to install is designed to only be installed to the C:\ partition, it will not let me choose another drive to install to and I cannot install to C:\ becauase there is not enough space to install the software to. My computer is seeing the system reserved partition as the C:\ and windows 8 is on D with windows XP on E.. I thought it would be an easy fix to go to the Disk Management application...

Dear Anyone. OK, so this is one of those questions where I'm going to feel a total plonker for not spotting the answer myself, so there's no need to point that fact out to me! Hard drive with 2 versions of XP on it. One version won't install my software - a VST synth - it comes up with MSVCRT.DLL exception handler error messages galore. The other version installs it no problem, except my DAW's on the version that doesn't let me install it. When I turn the computer on, it just comes up... Read more ..read more

Hi Recently I created a new program thinking it was an additional one. It wiped a lot of my original program files, some of which I reloaded from disk, but a number which I couldn’t. Today I ran a program called “Glary utilities” which analyses the system. In “disk space analyser” there are 2 options, “files and folders -all types” which show my current visible programs, and “show all files- all types” which show all the missing programs, listing the correct capacities and using up disk...
