Windows XP on Snow Leopard, first time user.

Post by speedgeek »

Hey guys,

I'm using Virtualbox for the first time (and it's VERY impressive). I'm trying to install an old copy of windows XP on my Mac OS snow leopard. I created a 30GB partition for it (using Dropbox) and everything seems to be configured well, Virtualbox boots from the CD and everything, but after loading all the setup files (right before the part where you choose which partition you want to install windows on) it gives me a blue screen of death.

What are the most common causes for a BSOD this early in the process? what should I look into first?

Thanks!
