Windows XP boot loop (M1 Mac)

[iloudaros]

Description

Trying to boot from an existing vdi file. Windows tries to boot (the Windows XP Logo appears along with a loading bar) but then it crushes and it takes me to this screen :

All the options lead to the same result. However, when trying "Safe Mode", this is the last frame I am getting before going back to the menu above:

Configuration

• UTM Version: 4.2.5 (81)
• macOS Version: 13.3.1 (22E261)
• Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M1

Crash log
The app does not crash.

Debug log

Upload VM

You literally used a .vdi file ? Vdi is the native format of VirtualBox which can easily be converted. Try to convert it to a qcow2 (the qemu / utm native format) using qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -c [your file].vdi [your file].qcow2 . and import in then again into UTM.

Hey there, thank you for your reply. UTM does the conversion automatically when you import a .vdi drive.
