Win XP Virtualization Problem


Hello All,

I am currently running Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), and have attempted to install Win Xp SP2 using using the latest version of virtualbox and Aqemu (a KVM frontend), but during the install process the setup program complains about not be able to copy certain files, and gives a choice between ignoring the error or continuing, so i go ahead and have it continue, and XP installs but certain things like Media Player doesn't work, and when I try to install any windows software, it doesn't seem to be able to recognize the install executable.

Can anyone help??!

Have you checked that your CD is OK? If you get this error with 2 different solutions at the same point I would check that.

I am pretty sure the CD itself is fine.
