Virtual machine manager not working....

[pradeeprajkumar]

Hi,
I'm using fedora 13(x86_64).
i installed windows xp in the virtual machine manager(which comes along with my distro).
i installed it after creating the virtual hard disk,
but after completing the installation of windows xp,
the hard disk is not booting,
it throws an error like the following picture....

A Disk read error occurred
press ctrl+alt+del to restart....

also previously, it showed some error like the following,

ntldr missing
press any key to restart....

how to solve this problem.....
i need xp mandatorily to do some programs....
also i want to install it inside the linux....
so please anyone help me....
thanks in advance...

Hi!

If you might want to experiment a little you can try virtual box. I mean if you haven't tried it yet

Good luck!

Even I was not lucky with virtual box.
because after installing the virtual box,
the virtual box is freezing at the start up.....
only a window named "VirtualBox License" pops up and nothing else is coming.....
here is the snapshot of the frozen virtual box.....

this is the problem with virtual box....
so,
how to make the virtual box start ?

when i tried through the kernel,
i got this as the result.....

[pradeep@localhost ~]$ VirtualBox

Is there anything to enable in my linux system,inorder to start the virtual box ?
