Infinite reboot windows xp 32bit guest on 64bit host

[massimobuzzi]

Hi
I have a virtualized an IBM's notebook with windows xp 32 bit (using Paragon GO Virtual).
It's all OK: that virtual disk is used for months on a netbook asus eee pc with Atom and Ubuntu 10 like Host operating system.
Now, I need to move the virtual pc on a computer with a larger monitor.
If you reuse the same virtual disk on another computer, I've copied virtualized Windows on new device, created a new virtual machine but Guest O.S. reboots continuously.
And it's possible access only in "safe mode".

I'm testing with a lot of new computer: DELL, HP, ACER all notebooks o workstations.
and with different hosts operating systems: Ubuntu 10 64bit, Ubuntu 12, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

The problem persists on all computers.
I also tried to disable the management processor from the registry of the client.
Has not been for nothing.

It 'never happened?
There is a procedure to transform the file virtualization from 32bit to 64bit?
Thank's
Massimo

The bittedness of the host is not your problem. Your problem is that you messed up the recipe of the new VM, not making it match the old VM.

Don't copy a bare VDI. Copy the entire VM folder, then use Machine|Add... on the target PC. That way all VM settings get copied too. Only copy the bare VDI if the identical VM already exists on the other host.

Hi,

In fact I have done so.
And the results are what I told

Your first message says you created a new VM around an existing disk, was that incorrect? Garbage in, garbage out if so.

However it doesn't substantially change the answer: infinite reboot is a VM configuration change. Obviously something changed or the VM would still be working.

You might also try starting the VM up in safe mode, and turning off its "Automatically restart" feature in My Computer | Properties | Advanced | Startup and Recovery. That way you can see what the BSOD error code is.
