Problem : Reboot of Physical PC

Hello

VirtualPC 2007 on Windows XP SP3.

I am trying to install Windows XP SP2 on a virtual machine.

The physical computer *always* reboots during the "Windows XP Prepare for Installation"
(This may not be the exact sentence for English OS !)

I think the problem occurs when loading the drivers in memory.

Any Idea ?
Thanks.

Probably either a BIOS issue or a driver issue.
If you have hardware virtualization turned on, turn it off on VPC and
see if you can install then. If so, then you need to update your
BIOS.
Next, you could try updating your NIC drivers.
