How To Install Windows 2000 On Virtualbox Extension

5.3.1. No USB 3.0 Support in Windows 7 GuestsIf a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 guest is configured forUSB 3.0 (xHCI) support, the guest OS will not have any USBsupport at all. This happens because Windows 7 predates USB 3.0and therefore does not ship with any xHCI drivers. Microsoftalso does not offer any vendor-provided xHCI drivers throughWindows Update.To solve this problem, it is necessary to download and installthe Intel xHCI driver in the guest. Intel offers the driver asthe USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (xHCI) driver for Intel 7Series/C216 chipsets.Note that the driver only supports Windows 7 and Windows Server2008 R2. The driver package includes support for both 32-bit and64-bit OS variants.The ACPI and I/O APIC settings should never be changed afterinstalling Windows. Depending on the presence of thesehardware features, the Windows installation program choosesspecial kernel and device driver versions and will fail tostartup should these hardware features be removed.

Enablingthem for a Windows VM which was installed without them doesnot cause any harm. However, Windows will not use thesefeatures in this case.Changing the storage controller hardware will cause bootupfailures as well.

This might also apply to you if you copy adisk image from an older version of Oracle VM VirtualBox to avirtual machine created with a newer Oracle VM VirtualBox version.The default subtype of IDE controller hardware was changedfrom PIIX3 to PIIX4 with Oracle VM VirtualBox 2.2. Make sure thesesettings are identical. 5.3.3. Windows 0x101 Bluescreens with SMP Enabled (IPI Timeout)If a VM is configured to have more than one processor(symmetrical multiprocessing, SMP), some configurations ofWindows guests crash with an 0x101 error message, indicating atimeout for interprocessor interrupts (IPIs). These interruptssynchronize memory management between processors.According to Microsoft, this is due to a race condition inWindows. A hotfix is available.

See.If this does not help, please reduce the number of virtualprocessors to 1.Installation reboots, usually during component registration.Installation fills the whole hard disk with empty log files.Installation complains about a failure installingmsgina.dll.These problems are all caused by a bug in the hard disk driverof Windows 2000. After issuing a hard disk request, there is arace condition in the Windows driver code which leads tocorruption if the operation completes too fast. For example, thehardware interrupt from the IDE controller arrives too soon.With physical hardware, there is a guaranteed delay in mostsystems so the problem is usually hidden there. However, itshould be possible to also reproduce it on physical hardware. Ina virtual environment, it is possible for the operation to bedone immediately, especially on very fast systems with multipleCPUs, and the interrupt is signaled sooner than on a physicalsystem.

The solution is to introduce an artificial delay beforedelivering such interrupts. This delay can be configured for aVM using the following command:VBoxManage setextradata 'VM name' 'VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/IRQDelay' 1This sets the delay to one millisecond. In case this does nothelp, increase it to a value between 1 and 5 milliseconds.Please note that this slows down disk performance. Afterinstallation, you should be able to remove the key, or set it to0. 5.3.5. How to Record Bluescreen Information from Windows GuestsWhen Windows guests run into a kernel crash, they display theinfamous bluescreen. Depending on how Windows is configured, theinformation will remain on the screen until the machine isrestarted or it will reboot automatically. During installation,Windows is usually configured to reboot automatically.

Withautomatic reboots, there is no chance to record the bluescreeninformation which might be important for problem determination.Oracle VM VirtualBox provides a method of halting a guest when itwants to perform a reset. In order to enable this feature, usethe following command:VBoxManage setextradata 'VM name' 'VBoxInternal/PDM/HaltOnReset' 1. 5.3.6. PCnet Driver Failure in 32-bit Windows Server 2003 GuestsCertain editions of Windows 2000 and 2003 servers support morethan 4 GB RAM on 32-bit systems. The AMD PCnet network drivershipped with Windows Server 2003 fails to load if the 32-bitguest OS uses paging extensions, which will occur with more thanapproximately 3.5 GB RAM assigned to the VM.This problem is known to occur with version 4.38.0.0 of thePCnet driver. The issue was fixed in version 4.51.0.0 of thedriver, which is available as a separate download. Analternative solution may be changing the emulated NIC type toIntel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM), or reducing the RAMassigned to the VM to approximately 3.5 GB or less. 5.3.7. No Networking in Windows Vista GuestsWith Windows Vista, Microsoft dropped support for the AMD PCNetcard that Oracle VM VirtualBox used to provide as the default virtualnetwork card before version 1.6.0.

For Windows Vista guests,Oracle VM VirtualBox now uses an Intel E1000 card by default.If, for some reason, you still want to use the AMD card, youneed to download the PCNet driver from the AMD website. Thisdriver is available for 32-bit Windows only. You can transfer itinto the virtual machine using a shared folder. 5.3.10. USB Tablet Coordinates Wrong in Windows 98 GuestsIf a Windows 98 VM is configured to use the emulated USB tablet(absolute pointing device), the coordinate translation may beincorrect and the pointer is restricted to the upper leftquarter of the guest's screen.The USB HID (Human Interface Device) drivers in Windows 98 arevery old and do not handle tablets the same way as more recentoperating systems do. For example, Windows 2000 and later, MacOS X, and Oracle Solaris. To work around the problem, use thefollowing command:VBoxManage setextradata 'VM name' 'VBoxInternal/USB/HidMouse/0/Config/CoordShift' 0To restore the default behavior, remove the key or set its valueto 1. 5.3.11. Windows Guests are Removed From an Active Directory Domain AfterRestoring a SnapshotIf a Windows guest is a member of an Active Directory domain andthe snapshot feature of Oracle VM VirtualBox is used, it could happenit loses this status after you restore an older snapshot.The reason is the automatic machine password changing performedby Windows at regular intervals for security purposes.

You candisable this feature by following the instruction of thefollowing article from Microsoft. 5.3.12. Restoring d3d8.dll and d3d9.dllOracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions for Windows prior to 4.1.8 didnot properly back up the original d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll systemfiles when selecting and installing the experimental Direct3Dsupport. This process replaces both system files with files fromthe Guest Additions so that Direct3D calls can be handledcorrectly.

Although this issue was fixed with Oracle VM VirtualBox4.1.8, there is no way the Windows Guest Additions installer canrepair these files.Corruption of these files has no implications if 3D accelerationis enabled and basic Direct3D support is installed. That is,without WDDM on Windows Vista or later, or on older Windowssystems like Windows XP. With the basic Direct3D support allDirect3D 8.0 and Direct3D 9.0 applications will utilizeOracle VM VirtualBox Direct3D files directly and thus will run asexpected.For WDDM Direct3D support however, the originally shippedd3d8.dll and d3d9.dll files are required in order to runDirect3D 8.0 and Direct3D 9.0 applications. As a result of theabove mentioned system files corruption these applications willnot work anymore. See below for a step-by-step guide forrestoring the original d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll system files incase the Oracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions installer warned aboutthose incorrect files or when having trouble running Direct3Dapplications.Download and install the latest version of 7-Zip FileManager.Choose Open Inside, to open WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86.exeas an archive and browse the i386 directory.Locate the entries d3d8.dl and d3d9.dl. Double-click onthe file names and extract d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll.Reboot Windows in Safe mode.Copy the extracted d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll files toC:Windowssystem32 and C:Windowssystem32dllcache.Reboot Windows.Extracting d3d8 and d3d9.dll from a Vista/Windows7 installationCD or Service Pack ISO.Download and install the latest version of 7-Zip FileManager.Browse into the installation CD. For example E:sources.Locate file install.wim and double-click the file.

After the7-Zip utility unzips the file, you will see a few numberedfolders. Each numeric subfolder represents a differentversion of Windows such as Starter or Home Basic.Open one of the numeric folders and browse to theWindowsSystem32 directory, or C:WindowsSysWOW64 for the64-bit version. Locate and extract the d3d8.dll and d3d9.dllfiles.Copy extracted the d3d8.dll and d3d9.dll files toC:Windowssystem32 or C:WindowsSysWOW64. Files fromsystem32 should go to system32, from SysWOW64 to SysWOW64.Reboot Windows. 5.3.13. Windows 3.x Limited to 64 MB RAMWindows 3.x guests are typically limited to 64 MB RAM, even if aVM is assigned much more memory. While Windows 3.1 istheoretically capable of using up to 512 MB RAM, it only usesmemory available through the XMS interface.

Versions ofHIMEM.SYS, the Microsoft XMS manager, shipped with MS-DOS andMicrosoft Windows 3.x can only use up to 64 MB on standard PCs.This is a HIMEM.SYS limitation documented by Microsoft inKnowledge base article KB 116256. Windows 3.1 memory limits aredescribed in detail in Microsoft Knowledge base article KB84388.It is possible for Windows 3.x guests to utilize more than 64 MBRAM if a different XMS provider is used. That could be a newerHIMEM.SYS version, such as that shipped with Windows 98, or amore capable third-party memory manager, such as QEMM.

Wanna install multiple operating systems on the same Desktop/Hardware?Wow.!!! How to do that?One option is, you can create multiple hard-disk partitions and install Windows, Linux, and other Operating Systems. There is one problem here, you need to restart desktop each time to change the operating system.

This dual-boot option is the old approach and history now. It is not always stable and most of the time system crashes.What if you can use the multiple operating systems without restarting?It will make your job super easy.

Isn’t it?I am going to tell you how to do that using VirtualBox. Before moving further, let’s see what is virtualization. Table of Contents.VirtualizationVirtualization Technology allows you to install multiple operating systems on the same hardware. Each OS has it’s own environment and hardware resource. You need to allocate memory (RAM), Hard-Disk Storage space while creating Virtual Machine. So ideally you can install multiple OS until you can allocate adequate RAM and hard disk storage to each system.

The number actually depends on your hardware.There are a good number of free and paid virtualization software available in the market like,etc. Refer this for the complete list.In this article, we will talk about Oracle VM VirtualBox and see how to install VirtualBox on Windows Operating System. What is VirtualBox?Oracle VirtualBox is an x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization cross-platform tool. It is the feature rich, high performance, free and open source.
