I have an XP vm been working fine for years, then upgraded to 7 and was still fine, been working for a few days now then this morning I get "preparing to upgrade your virtual machine" and then it launches back to the Press Start screen. Other VM's are fine. I loaded the c drive in another vm and it looks ok. Any more ideas ? Thanks
Update If I remove the "d" drive it boots fine. If I mount the "d" drive in os x it looks fine. If I add the drive to another xp os I get back to the upgrade If I add the drive to a win 7 I get the upgrade but IT BOOTS Added it back to the original xp and it boots just fine now. Off to make some backups
Not fixed Well maybe spoke to soon. Back to the loop again. In the end I created a new disk and copied the files from one to the other. Odd as in 7 it is fine.
Still now working Spoke to soon, not working again. Only way to fix was to create a new disk and copy the files over to get it working in XP although works fine in Windows 7. Even backup disks not used in 7 won't open in XP
