With that set, I created the empty VM by using VirtualBox > Machine > New > Expert Mode (which may already be the default not Guided Mode) > Name: WinXP x32 SP3 Basic. This was the parent folder where I wanted folders containing this and other VMs to be created. My first step was to go into VirtualBox > File > Preferences > General > Default Machine folder. Materials I had seen from VMware and Cameyo emphasized that a simple machine, preferably Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed, would be ideal. I wanted a clean VM because I planned to use it for creating portable versions of Windows programs. ( A different post discusses other methods of constructing or converting Windows VMs.) Readers are encouraged to consult that other post for additional detail. This post summarizes the steps in that process. A previous post offers a detailed description of the process of creating a clean Windows XP virtual machine (VM) in VirtualBox.
