Next, check the Windows XP virtual machine network settings. Older versions of VirtualBox required a more manual approach to network configuration. The software is smarter these days read: automated and usually picks up your network settings without prompt.
However, if it doesn't work and you'll realize the good or bad news in a moment when you fire up the virtual machine , you can try an alternative configuration. In the left-hand column, select Change adapter settings. Then, right-click and select Bridge Connection. You extracted the virtual hard disk. You created a virtual machine, fiddled with the settings, and now you're ready to hit the power switch.
Double-click it and wait for Windows XP to burst into life:. There is a strong possibility that your mouse will not immediately work with the Windows XP Mode virtual machine. Navigate the operating system installation pages using the Tab key, arrow keys, Spacebar, and Enter key. Complete the installation. You'll arrive at a completely black screen.
Don't worry! If the installation doesn't begin automatically, use the keyboard to navigate to My Computer. Use the default installation location and wait for the setup to complete. Select Continue Anyway. The installation process does take a little while, needing periodic input to move past the software warnings. If you have an old Windows XP license , dig it out and enter it to try to keep the virtual machine alive.
I say "try" because the Windows XP activation servers are long offline, but you can try a phone activation. If you feel devious, you could try the old Windows activation loop, whereby you reset the trial license back to its original day counter. However, I haven't tried it with the Windows XP Mode virtual machine, so you will have to conduct a private experiment.
But the easier solution is to create a snapshot of the Windows XP Mode virtual machine straight after installation. Then, when the license expires, you can revert to your fresh snapshot but you'll lose all the data on the virtual machine, so bear that in mind. Note that just because you have Windows XP working doesn't mean you should use it! Windows XP is no longer suitable as a primary operating system because of the security risks.
DriverPacks also produce packages for Vista and Windows 7 but they are less useful because the DriverPacks system has never been updated to support them. Here we show you how to create a Windows XP setup disc which will install most, if not all of your important drivers.
Download DriverPacks Base and place the self-extracting executable file into a new folder, e. Execute the DriverPacks Base file and let it extract its contents. Download the Driverpacks you want for XP. Packs like Webcam or Bluetooth are less important and 3rd party meaning they are not officially tested and could cause problems.
An important note is these days the DriverPacks are only distributed as torrents so you will need either a torrent client or use something like Bitlet which allows you download torrents through your web browser. Packs are always well seeded and should download quickly. If you want to reduce space and only include one set of drivers for your own PC for instance, download the Graphics pack which contains the required drivers. A similar thing applies to Sound packs.
Do not unpack them as they are 7z archives. It will then identify the operating system inside the folder. Click Overview to review your settings or simply click the Slipstream! Run the executable inside the archive and go to the Make ISO tab, click the button to browse to the location which holds the XP folder from step 1, then click the button to give a filename and folder for the new ISO file. Click Make. Before you reach the blue XP setup interface, the Driverpacks will begin extracting themselves to the hard drive ready for installation later in the process.
If all goes well your Windows XP will be installed and all the important drivers will already be installed meaning you can get on and do other things without the hassle of searching for and installing compatible drivers. Note: There are many other extras you can add into an XP installation disc with slipstreaming tools such as nLite, things like individual drivers, service packs and hotfixes etc.
If you are doing this as well you need to make sure the Driverpacks are added last, so use nLite or RVM Integrator first, then use the Driverpacks in this guide after. Why thanks a lot for the tip. Thanxs a lot. This helps a lot. Alex 14 years ago. Uploaded by isodiscimage on October 8, Internet Archive's 25th Anniversary Logo.
