problem convering VM from VMWare to VirtualBox

Post by shadov »

I am trying to get a WindowsXP (SP3) VM that was created on VMWare and get it working on VirtualBox.
Using the latest version of VirtualBox (2.2.4) for OSX
After I create a new VM in VirtualBox and use the vmdk file of the needed VM, it goes smooth, starts a VM, shows me "bios" and Windows text progress bar and just gets stuck after that.
When I power off/power on again, VM gives me options to Start Windows in Safe Mode, Normally, etc.
I tried all of the options, non work. If I try to start it in Safe Mode, it loads all the drivers up to agp440.sys and then doesn't move any further.
I though it was because I did not uninstall VMWare tools, but after I went back, uninstalled VMware tools from the VM, it didn't change anything in VirtualBox.

Does anyone have any suggestions/links with known problems/etc?
I am really desperate.

Thank you
