Error while installing Windows XP on Guest

Post by Jack789 »

I create a new guest, create a new HD, configurate it, boot it with windows xp, select install, partition the hd, it formats the hd, copy the windows files 100%, then it restarts after the 15 seconds and right after the windows logo I get a blue screen with the error below:

Modedit: Don't post images of absurd resolutions. Crop them to fit the board, or link to the image directly without the img tags.

Ive installed 2 other guests with the same windows xp cd and configurations successfully before, now I get this error for the first time.

Is this something anyone have seen before?

Please, help me.

I found this:

# Update the drivers for your hard drive controller. If the drivers to your hard drive controller are outdated, incorrect, or corrupted then the STOP 0x0000007B error will likely occur.

Note: If the STOP 0x0000007B error occurs during the Windows setup process and you suspect that the reason is driver related, be sure to install the latest hard drive controller driver from the manufacturer for use during the installation of the operating system.

Note: This is a likely solution if the second hexadecimal number after the STOP code is 0xC0000034.

Wich is the case.

But how does it translate to the Virtual Box? What Ive done that relates to that?

The default IDE controller (PIIX4) selected by VirtualBox for an XP install is one which XP has native drivers for. Your should also be using an IDE controller (which is also the default) and not SATA, SCSI etc. XP can be easily reconfigured to support SATA later if you want to do that, there is no need to complicate the install.

Getting a BSOD during Windows setup in VB means that the install source (disc, ISO, whatever) has an error in it. If you added drivers (e.g. for SATA support), you picked the wrong version and controller type. If you did not add any drivers, the disc might have a scratch or the reader has dirt on the lens (or is malfunctioning in a different way).

I'm having the same STOP error, and have tried everything I can think of - ensuring IDE HDD controller, using a fixed size disk, default settings for other components. Any ideas?

HW:
MSI P55-CD53 mainboard, with onboard SATA controller
Intel Core i5-655K unlocked processor
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA HDD
GeForce 210 512MB DDR3

Host OS:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8

Guest OS:
Windows XP Home Edition SP2
