XP imported from broken machine only boots once
Posted: 15. Apr 2011, 21:24
I have a windows xp machine with irreplaceable software on it whose motherboard died. I used vboxmanage convertfromraw to import the disk image to a vdi. I created a virtual machine using that vdi and I turned on the IO APIC.
The first time it boots without a problem. It asks to install 2 drivers vga and base system. It says it can't find a driver for either of them and then tells me it installed drivers so I need to reboot. Upon reboot it hangs on a blank screen. I have also tried starting from the same image installing guest additions and get the same result. It will boot up one time.
Any help?
