    Hi,

    I'm out of touch with XP for a while now :eek:..Is there a way by which we can activate XP SP3 in VM...MTK I believe works with Windows Vista and above? o_O

    Would be glad if someone could point me in the right direction..

    Regards..:D

    Right...Is there any other alternative like a loader or something like that for XP? :eek:..because I don't feel comfortable modding the BIOS and with OEM:SLP Configuration :(

    Hello, you not need set OEMBIOS string... you can download modified Virtualbox BIOS (add string Windows_Virtual_XP_F9161D8E7FCC11DDBFAA369856D89593 on position 0x908A) and set extradata for VM: VBoxManage setextradata "Windows XP mode" VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/BiosRom "/path/to/downloadbios.bin" and Windows XP mode in VirtualBox is activated!
