Info on migrating Windows boxes to VirtualBox is here:

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows

The relevant part is the section on the AGP440.DLL driver. Since VirtualBox doesn't use this driver, it crashes XP on bootup. You can use a boot cd in the virtual machine such as the System Rescue CD to mount the drive and delete/rename the file.

I have the same problem. I already deleted the AGP440 driver, but with no effect. Did you find a solution yet?
