Hi,

Windows XP Starter edition have similar issue with CPU speed. When you try to install it on newer CPUs you will encounter Unsupported State 6 error, which mean unsupported CPU speed. Can you have a look on that issue too?

Not sure it's about the CPU.

From https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39578

I have managed to figure out how to fix this error (at least on VirtualBox), so if anyone else has the exact same error you can do this to fix it.
The solution is to change the value Installed in HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA\Starter from 1 to 0
But don't try to change it manually, the OS BSODs after a few seconds, and even if you manage to get a .reg file with this fix on the VM it will show an error. So you need to modify it while the VM is offline.
There are 3 ways to do it:

  • The first one involves installing WinMount and mounting it from there
  • The second one involves adding the Starter disk image to another VM
  • The third one involves mounting the Starter disk image using Disk Management, but it only works if you have a VDI disk image.

Windows XP Starter doesn't have that limit in VMs, so it's not needed
