    I am trying to install Windows XP under build 5160. I get an error during express install:

    What's going on? Any ideas how to fix?

    Thanks!

    Hello ggaudrea,

    Could you please try Custom installation to find out when exactly you get this error? This might help us to diagnose the problem.

    Best regards,

    I get this error during the initial setup phase of Windows XP - during the blue DOS screen when it initially starts loading, before any setup has actually occurred.

    Ggaudrea, please try disabling VT-x support in Configuration Editor - Options - Advanced tab. Set Acceleration level to Disabled. When installation finishes, set Acceleration level to High again.

    The issue could also be caused by installation disk damages. Are you sure your installation disk is OK?

    Best regards,
