Hi

Trying to clone an XP drive to run on virtual box

This is what I did

Ran MergeIDE

Copy id driver with Disk2vhd

Ended up with a .vhdx file

Converted to vli file (using VboxManage clonemedium disk xxx.vhdx xxx.vli)

Added new machine in Virtual Box on In 10 (Win XP 32bit)

get the error when starting (and it won't got any further)

[XLDR] ATA error

Help!!

The error "[XLDR] ATA error" typically is the result of something in the MBR of the hard disk not being correct. The most likely cause of this is that the virtual hardware you are trying to boot the disk image on is different to the physical hardware the disk used to be in. The recommendation is usually to boot from the original Windows XP install CD, select the repair console and run the fixmbr command.
