I tried a Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 and found that Windows Virtual PC doesn't allow to use any D3D applications, so I thought to move it to VirtualBox. I know that there are a VMLite - special virtual mashine based on VirtualBox 3.2.6, there also present a plugin for VirtualBox 3.2.6, but it is not working on current VirtualBox version (4.0.6). So I want to setup XP Mode manually. I tried to create a virtual mashine with Microsoft's Windows XP Mode on VirtualBox 4 and got error:
So I tried to fix image using VBoxFixHdd:Failed to open hard disk g:\Work PC VirtualBox\XP Mode\Windows XP Mode.vhd. Parent medium with UUID {851e399f-90aa-e74b-9108-cd7d38634be6} of the medium g:\Work PC VirtualBox\XP Mode\Windows XP Mode.vhd is not found in the media registry C:\Users\Eagle/.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml
Code: Select all
VBoxFixHdd-Win.exe --filename "Windows XP Mode.vhd" --format VHD --zeroparentuuid
Next I tried is to convert VHD to VDI:VBoxFixHdd-Win.exe: error: Cannot open the virtual disk image "Windows XP Mode.vhd": VERR_VD_INVALID_TYPE
Code: Select all
VBoxManage clonehd "Windows XP Mode.vhd" "XP Mode.vdi" --format VDI
I was looking for the solutions in Google but found nothing that can help me... Does anyone know how to manage this? I will be very thankful!VBoxManage.exe: error: Parent medium with UUID {851e399f-90aa-e74b-9108-cd7d38634be6} of the medium 'g:\Work PC VirtualBox\XP Mode\Windows XP Mode.vhd' is not found in the media registry ('C:\Users\Eagle/.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml')
