  • Hey, i try to install Windows XP but when i hit F8 to install it, it opens itunes. how do i change it so that it won't open itunes

  • @tjraptis Hi You've probably got a function modified keyboard, there should be some type of "modifier key" like an "F" or "FN" or something... hold that down as you hit F8, that should do the trick.

  • I would carry out the install with a standard USB mouse attached as well as your current mouse, you can then search for applicable drivers. Hope this helps.

  • Hi coolnilas, you will need a Windows disk.

  • the cd/dvd drive is not working on my macbook, is there anyway to boot the xp disc on vm virtual box from an iso file? (i just made one, but i can't figure out how to do such thing). it's quite urgent, any suggestions are accepted. (by the way bootcamp wont work...)

  • @BloodyInsane Hi Sorry for the delay... you can point to an ISO file from the "STORAGE" tab in setting and then + and browse to your ISO file. Hope this helps.

  • @1:24 when you have the blue installing screen, i have a black screen that says something like "no bootable medium found! System Halted."

    I dont have an actual windows xp CD, but i have downloaded the ISO directly from Microsoft's website. Is it not possible to do this from an ISO file?

  • Bellissimo, avere xp su un sistema close ma pulito come mac.....

    Speriamo in una versione di Virtualbox per Android......

    Complimenti per il video......

  • Any 1 have a product key?

  • Thanks

    

  • wow, how can you make a guide without explained what the heck you're doing? For example the numbers you're using to setting up the base memory, why not explain this? what's the point in saying "eh, just setting this up" ...

  • you can virtualize just about any OS. I often do this myself for trouble shooting as well testing a new build.

  • Can you get Mac on an XP with VirtualBox? Because if so that would be awesome I could get so many more cool things if I could get Mac on XP to work.

  • Good effort !
