problem migrating Win XP VHD image from mac to linux host

[zuliani71]

Hello,
as in the subject I'm trying to run a VHD image (win XP Guest), which originally was running on a mac host, to a new linux Host.
Ths source Mac OSX Sierra Ver 10.13.2
The target Linux Host is a Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS xenial,
The VHX, as mentioned, is a Windows XP Guest, the Linux Host is a Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS xenial,

Virtualbox running at source (mac osx) is: ver. 5.2.6 r120293 (Qt6.6.3)
Virtualbox running at target (linux xenial) is: ver. 5.2.18 r124319 (Qt5.6.1)

The WinXP at source starts to run but I've got errors at the splash screen. Attached you can find a screenshot
of the splash screen. I can't upload the log file becaiuse is 340KB and I've got an error when I try to attach it to
this bost (limitation is 128 KiB)
Can you help me?

Compress it first.

The best way to "migrate" a VM is not to simply move its hard drive (VHD) but the whole VM folder, see Moving a VM for the details.

Hello here the zipped log file,
I've also tried to the run the .vbox file directly inside the dir where the VHD file is. Virtualbox can run the Guest but it stops as usual

This is the Guru Meditation that you're getting.

00:00:00.285626 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes
00:00:00.718375 Full Name: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100 CPU @ 3.90GHz"

And this is "why" you're getting that error. You will need to address/fix the hardware virtualization availability. Your i3-7100 CPU most certainly supports hardware virtualization, so it's a matter of enabling it in the BIOS. See your PC's manufacturer help on how to do this. Also, make sure that nothing else has an exclusive hold on that.
