windows XP installation error in xVM virtualbox nonOSE 1.6.2

Post by SeeFood »

I got VB running in openSUSE 11.0 but whe i try to install win XP 5.1.2600.0 during installation the following error messages appear (Translation to english might be awkward. sorry.)

First message, first window:
"An error has occurred that prevents installation from being continued. A component required for installation could not be installed."

...And the second message in "System istallation protocol" window:
"Error:
Error occurred during installation (Invalid system date time, Errorcode 800b0101)
Make sure, computer date and time are correct and restart setup. Check BIOS settings on system start.

Severe error:
Product catalogs could not be installed
..."

I tried to change the system time format by adding the following line into grub bootmenu option, however this did not help.
I already posted in openSUSE Forum without success.

Any help appreciated.

(Board: Asus m3a h/hdmi, bios updated version 5/2008 (latest), CPU AMD Athlon X2 64 4850e).

I can assume that you're installing XP as a Guest system. The errors you have are mostly caused by a faulty install source. Either the CD is dirty or damages, or the ISO has been tampered with, with the result an unsuccessful install.

okay, that was it! The windows CD was corrupt. I tried a different one and got through the installation.

Thanks a lot!
