Migrating a Windows XP VMware Virtual Machine to a VirtualBox one


When migrating a Windows XP VMware VM to a VirtualBox one you should enable IO APIC option.

Windows may not be able to start the network device because the driver loaded for the PCnet-FAST III device is VMware Accelerated AMD PCnet Adapter.

To get the device working simply replace the device driver with the AMD one: AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet Adapter

Don't forget about installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
