I am running a Windows XP Pro 32bit VM on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit machine. Everytime I am in the VM and I select scan new hardware in the device manager, My VM resets. Any reason why this might be happening?

I noticed the same thing on my Win XP 32 bit VM when I played around with SATA Controller and its drivers installed in the guest OS.
After switching back to IDE and removing the SATA driver it was fine again.

So you think the fact that I am running my virtual hard drive with a SATA controller instead of an IDE controller is causing the reset problem when I scan for new hardware?

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Me too, with SATA controller enabled the scan hardware wizard causes a reset in XP

What do you mean by reset? I just did a scan for new hardware in a Windows XP Pro SP3 VM which has a SATA controller set up and nothing unusual happened.
