Virtual PC Restarts Installation of XP!?


Recommended Posts

Hi

Okey i have made an ISO file that seems to work fine

only thing on it is Windows XP SP2 + Hotfixes

When i test it using virtual machine the Installation restarts when 39 min remain and it keeps "Initilizing Devices" and "Installing Devices" over and over again

Anyone?

Yes i have BOOTFIX.BIN in my i386 dir

The thing is this:

1. I start Virtual PC

2. I Boot using my winxp.iso

3. Choos partition and format the drive

4. Start installing

5. Copying files in text mode install

6. Reboots and the Windows XP logo shows

7. Starts to initilizing and installing drivers (39 min left)

8. Installing Network

9. Reboots

10. NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM

Now a screen comes up saying "Installation Restarts....."

And it starts over from 7. Starts to initilizing and installing drivers (39 min left)

I haven´t have the option to test it on a live PC

and i haven´t tested if the orginal cd works (the orginal cd is a copy that i made some time ago whit WinXP and SP2 Slipstreamd)

Ill test that and ill see what happends.

Meenwhile, any other sugestions

All that i have done in the new ISO is SVCPACK the hotfixes and i have slipstreamd Medai Player 10 using BTS´s method.

Thanx

Okey i now did and install on Virtual PC whit my Win XP SP2 Orginal CD (Not Unattanded) and when it installed the network, it complained about that i already have another computer (my live one) whit that Computername i tried to put in during installation! So i just typed in a new one (a box poped up, said i need to choose something else) Maby that could have been the problem?

And if this was the problem how can i resolve it so when i later on use my final cd/dvd and all of my computers here at home whit my network will use the cd, they will all be installed whit the same User Name and therefor f**k up during installation.

Anyone know?
