Win Me in VBox on XP
I dual boot between PCLinuxOS and XP.
I successfully installed XP in VirtualBox 2.2 in PCLos, and I am now trying to install Win Me in VirtualBox 2.2 in XP. I tried Win95 initially but as you can imagine I had no success at all. I have been using a dos 6.2 boot disk and a WinMe iso for the cd. For trying Me in XP I boot the virtual machine with a dos6.2 boot disk, then cd to d:, which is the cd (Win Me iso) and enter setup. Installation proceeds ok, switching the cd to a Win95 iso for previous os that satisfies the upgrade criterion, then switching back to the Win Me iso. Installation goes ok until I reach the part where the installation wants to create a boot floppy. then whether I say to create the boot floppy or not I get the error Application Error SUWIN caused a general protection fault in module user.exe at 001:5189 Can anyone help ? TIA |

TIA http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q129971/ may help - do you get an indication of which SUWIN error it is? I've never tried installing ME (or anything else!) to VirtualBox so have to ask a few questions... 1 - how much RAM have you got available to ME? - make sure it's less than 512MB for the install 2 - is the disk you are using a branded OEM upgrade disk, or an MS one? 3 - what hardware configuration does VirtualBox emulate? -- Noel Paton www.crashfixpc.co.uk Nil Carborundum Illegitemi |
