Speed up VirtualBox XP

Deactivate: IO APIC, PAE/NX

Activate SATA

To get your system partition on sata, boot up your guest and install the sata-driver. After installing shutdown guest and hook the IDE-VDI file under SATA. Now it should work.
I tried a few times to install xp with a sata-driver-floppy, but that always ended in a bluescreen, so use above method.
