Hello there.

Today I've installed VirtualBox 2.1.4_42893_openSUSE111-1 from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads with one click install. To run XP I also had to install /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
I really need to restore XP, since I need some data to program :S

But during boot, I get blue screen:

This, xp was installed on different version of VBOX than I try to run now. I think it was VirtualBox OSE.

Any ideas how can I start XP ?
