Problems with Testing a selfcreated Windows XP DVD

Post by johnny47 »

Hey,
if I posted this in the wrong Category I'm very sorry but I didn't know where to put this in.

recently I created a Windows Xp Installation DVD and tested it on Virtual Box...
It all worked well so I started to install it on my real Computer, and after nearly all of the installation was done the computer crashed.
Is there any diference between the virtual and my real pc? How can i adjust the virtual to personify the host pc?(If it's possible).

Thank you for your help,
Your Johnny47

Please read Wikipedia - Virtual Machines to learn more about virtual machines. A PC crash can be caused by faulty hardware, install media and/or drivers. I suspect the latter.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
