Simply record the problems encountered in installing a virtual machine and xp system under mac

 

1. The virtual machine uses VirtualBox
2. The xp mirror is a Ghost XP
3. Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox, follow the wizard, and basically use the default settings. When allocating memory, you can increase it (the default is less than 200, and it is increased to 512)
4. After booting, enter the installation menu, try to install the system on the C drive, and report an error of "Non-bootable disk"
5. Enter the system through winpe, check the partition and find that there is no C drive, which leads to the failure of installing the system directly under winpe.
6. Finally , through the dos command line, run fdisk /mbr "retrieve C drive" . The reason for the previous failure was guessed to be caused by no boot partition
7. Enter winpe again, format the C drive, and install it directly to the C drive, successful
8. System installation is super fast
9. Almost all drivers can be fixed by installing VirtualBox Guest Additions , and only one network card driver is left with a problem.
10. After searching on the Internet for a long time, I locked a slightly reliable update network card driver solution: xp device manager, find the network card, update the driver, and select the AMD PCNET Family PCI adapter when searching manually. (The default selection seems to be an adapter of VirtualBox)
11. Before the network card driver update, I downloaded two system files, netamd2.inf and pcntpci5.sys, to the mac local. I'm not sure if the successful installation has anything to do with this.
