Loading XP on Vbox witha SATA drive

[fester225]

Are there any tutorials available which show how to load XP onto a virtual machine already created by Vbox under Karmic? I have a SATA drive.

So far Vbox doesn't see my CDROM, so it won't boot the new operating system.

You can copy your XP CD to an ISO file and then mount that ISO as a CD to the virtual machine. You might see an option to press F12 to select boot device, in which case, choose the CD. Why do you need to load XP into an existing machine as opposed to just making a new one?
