id summary reporter owner description type status component version resolution keywords cc guest host 1190 OpenSuSE 10.3 host cannot import Windows XP Professional guest chollstein "On a Dell M6300 notebook with preinstalled Windows XP Pro on the second partition I added an OpenSuSE 10.3 64 Bit system on the third and some extended partitions and installed a dual boot mode using GRUB. Both systems are able to boot via the GRUB boot menu. I created a raw VMDK image according to the user manual and a WIN XP virtual machine based on the VMDK raw image. I also imported the boot record of the WIN XP partition according to the installation hints in the user manual. But when I try to start WIN XP as guest, I only get a black screen. The same behavior I had with an OpenSuSE 10.3 32Bit system. If I first create a VMDK based VM for WIN XP and then do a fresh install of WIN XP into the VM, every works fine. For my understanding it should not matter, wether I do a fresh install of a guest onto a raw partition or just take an already installed one and import it to VirtualBox via the VMDK technique." defect closed other VirtualBox 1.5.2 invalid Windows XP guest raw disk vmdk other other
