    No offense but you do realize that there are duplicate values in your boot.ini file?
    Go to the properties of the boot.ini file, and remove the read-only attribute in order to edit it.
    Code:
    [boot loader]

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="USB XP-SP3" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

    Yes but i did not expect it , usually every installation of windows rename the previous file boot.in as boot.bak and so on for 6 times but never append the same configuration 6 times in the same boot.ini files leaving also the old ones (the five line at the beginning) for my opinion this is a bug of the installer..

    I have been involved in this project.
    I fixed the issue in UpdatePacks x86 and x64 now.
    In x86 some files are tampered with. from the previous creator

    Do you have a picture of that problem?
    I think it's not a problem.

    You are the bug, you just forget to format that partition. Its not designed to overwrite existing installation.

    There are many use cases where formatting the disk and/or clean installing is exactly what you want to avoid.

    The boot.ini menu should work from 1 to safe mode ? I get message for missing .dll

    For me, upgrading from VirtualBox 4.2.20 (the version recommended on the first post) to VirtualBox 7.0.8 (the current latest version) fixed the crashes.

    VirtualBox 4.2.20 is only used for XP host, if your Host OS is windows 8.1 or newer, use the latest version of VirtualBox.
