[SOLVED] VirtualBox
Hi,
My PC has only one IDE connector, and I already have 2 hard drives connected to it.
How do I install XP as guest without a cd-rom?
I do not have a USB cd-rom either.
Can I copy the files to a USB memory stick and install it that way? Or create an iso put it on the memory stick and install it?
I tried both, but the Virtual box did not see these as valid boot media.
Or can I try from network? How do I do it?
I have latest virtual box (3.010) + debian etch.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

ISO files will mount just fine in VirtualBox, so if yours didn't it's a problem with the way our ISO was created more than likely. What did you use to create the image?
Also, have you considered daisy-chaining your harddrives so they only use one IDE slot? Does your motherboard have SATA plugs as well?Registered Linux user #270181

Yes, thank you for confirmation that VirtualBox is working fine with iso files.
I have deleted the old iso and created a new one.
Now it is working
Regards.
