I've tried to start XP on my Ubuntu 16.04, but I don't know where to find the image.

This is one of the error that gives me:

VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED).

Can some help me ?

    For starters, if you want to run virtual machines you should enable VT-x in BIOS setup. – AlexP Nov 27 '16 at 17:21

    after this, the machine is "running" giving me a black screen says FATAL : No bootable medium found ! System halted... you know this ? – Rizio A. Nov 29 '16 at 14:30
  • where can i find an OS file ? – Rizio A. Nov 29 '16 at 14:48
  • Officially you are supposed to use your very own installation DVDs... or the images you downloaded from your MSDN subscription. Unofficially I cannot give advice, but you may try to use a search engine looking for ISO. Beware of viruses, trojans and other malware. Note that Windows XP is out of support. You would be better served by Windows 7 32-bit; it runs everything that Windows XP can run in a VM. – AlexP Nov 29 '16 at 15:08
  • thanks for the help my ubunty is 64-bit..anyway i've tried to download an win xp iso image, and now it gives me this error: PXE-T02: Option negotiation failure (file nott found or inaccessible?) PXE-E3C: TFTP Error - Access Violation PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM FATAL : Could not read from the boot medium! System halted. I wish understand all this...... – Rizio A. Nov 29 '16 at 23:52

    What virtualization engine are you using? – AlexP Nov 30 '16 at 04:59

    How come you don't know? What program do you use to start a virtual machine? – AlexP Nov 30 '16 at 13:45
  • you mean ORACLE VIRTUAL BOX ? – Rizio A. Dec 01 '16 at 03:19
  • Right. In Virtual Box you define the components of your virtual machine. One of the components is a virtual DVD drive. Make that to use the ISO file containing the operating system to be installed. – AlexP Dec 01 '16 at 03:33
  • ok it works...now one more question, how do i connect to the internet? it doesn't read my ethernet cable... – Rizio A. Dec 04 '16 at 13:06
  • Use your favourite search engine to look for [install Windowx XP on VirtualBox networking](https://www.google.com/search?q=installing+windows+xp+on+virtualbox+networking). Apparently you need to specify a virtual network adapter which is supported by XP. – AlexP Dec 04 '16 at 13:22
  • let's put it in this way, either if I connect with wifi, or ethernet cable, and attach to NAT , the browser just connects on msn.com and bing.com.....what can I do? – Rizio A. Dec 11 '16 at 08:29
  • anyhow you are reallu helpfull @AlexP – Rizio A. Dec 11 '16 at 08:30

Here the answer for the sake of completeness from AlexP comments:

For starters, if you want to run virtual machines you should enable VT-x in BIOS setup.
