Vista Forums - View Single Post - Old XP installed on new host Vista system as a guest

**Adrian Wainer** · 08-24-2008

Hi Haven't tried VMware on my Vista 64, though I have tried microsoft's own offering using my Windows Vista 64 system as a host to a Windows XP 32 guest. I installed Crysis in to my virtualized Windows XP 32 system but when I insert the disc in to DVD drive Crysis tells me it needs an original disc not a back up, [ and that is the original disc ] so I can't figure out why it thinks it is a back-up.

Best and Warm Regards
