WinXP x86 Professional SP3 Slipstreamed won't install

Post by RunescapeVM »

I get the following error:

STOP: c0000211 Unknown Hard Error
\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll


I expected to be able to just stick the disc in, boot the VM, and install. I have no idea what this error means, I am not a Windows expert. The host is Windows 8 Pro 32 Bit, and the guest is a Windows XP Professional 32bit SP3 slipstreamed install disc that won't install. Please help? I really want to know what this error means and what settings I have to have to get rid of it. As you could probably guess by my username, my sole purpose is to run Runescape on this VM, which crashes randomly in Windows 8. I plan to use it until Jagex releases a compatible game client. (NOTE: I have tried Windows 7 and XP SP3 compatibility modes in Windows 8, so please don't suggest that.).

I have a screenshot, but the thingy says I have to wait a day to add URLs. Understandable as a spam prevention measure, but a bit annoying. Couldn't you guys just use a Captcha?

The wait period has stopped all bot spam so it will stay.

Second we don't usually need screen shots if you actually describe the issue, which you have.

If the slipstreamed version of XP does not work it usually means that the CD was not created using the standard block size. (Very important)
You can create a standard ISO image of the CD and use that instead or use a retail version of the Windows software to install.
