Boo!
Everything went well in the creation wizard, then I started the machine and I got to the "First Run Wizard" which asked me for the winxp media (I'm using a an iso image) and it starts installing.
I got to see the initial screens of WinXP installing and sudenly my host (physical computer) simply restarts without any warning.
I'm new to this but since all is being done using the wizards I guess it is a problem either due to VirtualBox or to my physical computer configuration (Dell Optiplex 740 AMD 642 X2 Dual Core 2GHz,4GB RAM winXP Prof SP3).
Any ideas?
Thanks
