Apr 22, 2021 Download the Windows XP Mode virtual hard disk. When it completes, don't install it yet! Instead, browse to the executable, then right-click and select 7-Zip Open archive cab from the context menu. This immediately opens the executable in 7-Zip for you to have a poke around. This option allows us to select the ISO image of Windows XP or the DVD-ROM drive to install from the CD/DVD. Select the appropriate option and then click on Next. A new Summary window will open and it will show the type of media that was selected for installation, the media source, and the type of device.
When I go into settings of the New Virtual Machine and try to add a bootable ISO file and navigate to where the ISO file is I cannot see the ISO file even though I JUST updated virtual box. Even ISO files I have used before. And if the ISO file does show up I get an error similar to this one:- Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view
