Posted: 19. Sep 2011, 18:00
It seem that I have a problem similar to an earlier one.
I hav a new laptop and a newly installed Ubuntu 10.04 with a virtual box 4.1.2
I have a Windows XP guest but I has a lot of trouble starting it. Every time I try , it just reboot time fter time.
I then try to reset it and after a while it pop up with the the "Save windows upstart" - I then says goback to old Safe installation and then I can start it.
From time to time I can not restart the windows , b ut have to drop it totally.
I clonen the windows from an old installation and I have to build it again for have a ew windows xp.
