No, this isn’t quite as simple as you might think! I have destroyed my Volume Licensing media for XP Pro and don’t won’t to fork out for a new disk – I want to test something and can’t justify the expense (admittedly tiny). And actually, now it’s an intellectual challenge…
So, I have a working VirtualPC XP Pro installation. I have this Ghosted and have exported the image – it’s extracted onto an old hard drive ready to go in the test machine. However, all the hardware is different, obviously, and I get no further than starting Safe Mode with logging and then a BSOD. Is there a way to force the OS to re-install/re-set/boot please? My brain is hurting now…
