guest os XP troubles

Post by sintho_matix »

ok so i am new to this virtual box, this is my first time using.
I have 2 computers, a vista laptop and an XP desktop.
I have no xp setup disk (lost it). How can i get its OS into my virtualbox?

I have the files (a folder called I386) which is apparantly all the files from the setup disk. How would I go about getting a setup disk? Can I somehow make the files into a .iso and move that to my vista via USB jumpdrive?

Do you have the license key for your install?
