Installing a previous version of Xp

Post by kgreen »

I have Windows SP3 installed on my Host machine. I have the disk with SP2 so when virtual box asks for the disk it says I have a newer version already installed and will not continue. Can I get around this.?

Ok i found the problem. I was inadvertantly was trying to install on the host which is why I got the error. I since learned from watching the youtube video "How to Install VirtualBox" by Buyer Brown and all went well. I saw my XP disk lot files from the setup screen in the virtual window.
