Ever since Plex86 died and VMWare cost money I have been looking for a way to run XP inside Linux. After finally finding it, I ran into a snag:
Windows XP without SP2 freaks out when trying to login saying "a problem prevents windows from veryfing precisely the licence of this computer" which prevents a user from logging in except in Safe Mode.
To remedy this problem I did what I always do: google. I found this website:
The QEMU forum :: View topic - WinXP licence check problem
Which tells you that you simply need to install SP2. So I googled for an SP2 download found it. I then used mkisofs to create an ISO image and mounted that as Windows' CD Rom drive and I am now in the process of installing it.
