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
