Hey I just did this and would be happy to help if you have not figured it out yet.
Edit : I did it with just an old hard drive laying around that had xp on it that was last booted in 2003. No machine to boot it on. No way to "prepare the os" on a current system.
Hey I know this thread is super old but could you clarify in detail? I really need to know how exactly this is done, step by step if possible. I have a very important xp machine with a very old database that im trying to preserve as a vm until our new database is completed. I cloned the hard drive with clonezilla and restored it to a blank vdisk1.img that i created but when i boot the vm I run into the blue screen message and reboot issue mentioned above. I only had one shot at making the image because the machine is still in production so i need to figure out how to make the reg edit offline on my vdisk1.img.
