Hi all,
I have an issue launching an XP virtual machine in Virtual Box after upgrading from Gutsy 7.10 to Jaunty 9.04.
Actually, I did a clean install not an upgrade.
I have /home on a separate partition so I was able to keep all my files intact.
After the install and update of jaunty, I installed Virtual Box from the repos but found it was the OSE edition. So I uninstalled it and downloaded the latest version and installed that.
Installed fine. Added myself to the vboxusers group. The app launches fine. I added my xp.vdi hard disk to Virtual Box and tried to start it. No matter what I try, it just blue screens when starting.
Don’t know if it matters, but I installed the system as ext4 but kept /home as ext3. So the xp.vdi file is on an ext3 partition but the OS is ext4.
Short of searching for Windows booting help, any one had a similar experience?
Or any one know what may cause Virtual Box to behave like this after an upgrade?
Cheers.
