Windows XP professional on Mac keeps booting in setup

Post by kaardo »

So I’m having problems trying to setup windows XP on my Virtualbox for Mac and whenever I format the boot disk so I can setup windows XP it keeps booting into the blue screen for windows setup. I’ve only gone into the ACTUAL setup once but it just boot directly into the blue setup screen. It’s basically a boot loop. Any solutions? Please tell me. Help is greatly appreciated :D

If anyone is wondering what device I use (just in case this is important), I use a MacBook Air 2019.

Eject the XP install CD. As long as it's there the VM will keep booting from it.
