RE[2]: Maybe this is the one

I agree. I also have an XP image setup in VBox, and it runs great. The problem is I already have some extensive Parallels images (dev tools installed, etc) setup that I do not want to recreate. I actually have separate licensed copies of XP Pro for my VBox and Parallels images. One of these days I will be able to wean myself from Windows, but not yet. I also keep a real windows partition around (Vista Business) for running Half-life 1.

No offense, but if that's all you're keeping it around for, installing WINE and running halflife 1 (or 2) through it would be much more efficient
That's what I do ...

I use VirtualBox on Gutsy and it runs perfectly. XP actually boots faster than when it was running on this hardware natively!
