]]> Comment on Install Windows XP in VirtualBox using SATA by Icarus http://rotwhiler.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/install-windows-xp-in-virtualbox-using-sata/#comment-94 Icarus Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:01:47 +0000 http://rotwhiler.wordpress.com/?p=304#comment-94 I couldn't get this to work. It works up to the point where I specify the second driver in the list (the only one containing the word "mobile" in the description string). From that point I do see the disk, I can format it, create partitions etc. But as soon as the installation commences the copying of files I get an error saying: cannot copy file: iastor.sys If skipped, about 4 other errors on files starting with "ia" will pop up, if you skip them all, the installation will error out with a blue screen later. Post #5 in the following thread is rumored to work though I cannot recreate this from a Linux host. http://www.d-a-l.com/help/windows-xp-help/29558-setup-cannot-copy-file-iastor.html This basically modifies the image so that the driver files will be contained in the root of the floppy (as they are now) AS WELL AS INSIDE $OEM$\TEXTMODE If this ends up working for someone, I'd appreciate the modded F32.IMA file. I couldn’t get this to work.

My Vaio Utilities didn't work neither with 7, neither with Vista. Then I found your post.. and God bless you and the people that had come to this decision! I have just one thing to ask: I don't have a recovery CD, and I can't make the VAIO Camera Capture Utility working. Is it possible to give me this files from your CD, so I can complete the installation? 10x for million again! Man, I don’t know how to thank you!!!

Maybe the page didn't load all the way for you, or you were viewing it with a reader or in frame from another website. The blog is actually white text on very dark gray, which is legible.

Wow it's working.... But I indeed reserve the "default 0 0" in the line. My fault, unexpectedly, is the "Vboxsf" ---BIG "V"---- and My guest os, building in Ubuntu 9.04 either, now can auto-mount shared folders. So I apparently reckon that the "default" problem is a bit of bug in former version Thanks~I’m trying…..
