Guest XP Crashes after Exporting and Importing

Post by Jason Haught »

After Exporting and moving the VM to another machine then importing it crashes but runs in safe mode. The same export works on another machine.

I have tried:
1) Restoring to last known good XP Config
2) Removeing all VM hardware that I could.

3) Reimported


See the attached log and pic. I could not attach the whole log so I might have to add more if needed.

You should avoid exporting/importing unless you're switching virtualization software and you're aiming for interoperability.

See the FAQ "Moving a VM" (viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55003) and interpret it as "Backing up a VM" or "Copying a VM". Can you try that? Otherwise we would need a comparison of a VBox.log from PC1, and another from PC2.

BTW, when I mean log, I mean the complete non-filtered log, not what you think is important. If you believe that you're in a position to judge what's important and what's not, you shouldn't be asking for our help. But if you do ask for help, we need the whole unobfuscated log.

PS. For future reference you should ZIP your logs. It helps you, it helps us, it helps the server, it helps save a (virtual) tree or two... ;)
