Installed latest version of virtualbox. tried the terminal commands and the raw image weighs in at a rediculous >130 GB for both Win7 IE8 and IE9. Is this normal???? I just don’t have that kind of space to play around with.
Cheers

Dont think you need to convert at all anymore. Atleast my Virtualbox v 4.04 start the IE7Compat.vhd file.

I’m having the same issue as Lou. Everything seems to go fine until I install Guest Additions. After that it requires activation in order to login. I’m stuck.

Do we need Windows XP CD for this to work? I get through all the steps up until “Start” on the Virtual Machine and get a “Fatal: No bootable medium found! System halted.” does this mean I need the Windows XP cd? I am new to this and in the above instructions it doesn’t talk about needing this but maybe that was just assumed when writing these instructions that the user (me) would know this. Nothing against the instructions, they are pretty good, I just was curious for some help on this please. Thanks a lot for writing this! If anyone could please help that would be great.
