I suppose WinXP does not like to be booted in a completly different 
machine (copy-protection, drivers bound to the system). when trying to 
boot a disc in qemu it is equal to taking the physical disc to a 
completly different physical pc. If I remember corectly there are some 
guides (from Microsoft) on migrating WinXP to a new host, but it's not 
as easy as migrating linux for example. Different hardware profiles are 
an option I suppose.

With regards,

Jan
