BSOD 0xce with ubuntu host

[wardy277]

Hi,

I am trying to get my vhd image working. I got the latest XPSP3-IE7 from Microsoft website, expires in august. I have the latest virtual box from the virtual box website: 3.0.2. When running it says that there is a problem with the audio and to set it as null audio option in the settings. i did that and i dint get any more errors but now after the boot screen i see the mouse for a second then get a BSOD. (very hard to capture as it reboots, how do i stop auto reboot on stop error?)

Andy help would be greatly appreciated, as with this, i may never need to go into windows.

From the manual:

11.2.4 How to record bluescreen information from Windows
guests
When Windows guests run into a kernel crash, they display the infamous bluescreen.
Depending on how Windows is configured, the information will remain on the screen
until the machine is restarted or it will reboot automatically. During installation, Windows
is usually configured to reboot automatically. With automatic reboots, there is
no chance to record the bluescreen information which might be important for problem
determination.
VirtualBox provides a method of halting a guest when it wants to perform a reset.
In order to enable this feature, issue the following command:
VBoxManage setextradata VMNAME "VBoxInternal/PDM/HaltOnReset" 1

Ah great, i am glad there is a fix. although how do i edit the registry if i cant boot? is there a command line way to alter the registry? Where is this documentation.manual for virtual box?

how do i edit the registry if i cant boot? is there a command line way to alter the registry?

hit [F8] key early while booting Windoze, select "safe mode"
when up and running in safe mode: Start -> execute enter: regedit.exe

Thats odd, i got the error windows did not shut down correctly... with the option of start with last known configuration. the safe mode option here still had the error but using f8 safemode didnt. how odd. thanx for your help

... with the option of start with last known configuration.

was this question when having booted into safe mode? dont answer yes to "last known configuration" but go ahead into safe mode

[wardy277]

No i did choose safe mode. maybe the safe mode from this last known configuration page, doesnt work correctly. strnage, I used the other method and it works fine now. thank you for your help
