Here are the steps I did to install Windows XP on Linux using VirtualBox:

If VirtualBox is not already installed on your system: have a look at this article

Start VirtualBox

# VirtualBox

Click on "New"

Click on "Next"

choose a name for your VM and select "Windows XP" as operating system

Click on "Next"

click on "New"

Click on "Next"

Choose "Fixed-size image". Usually dynamically expanding images are much slower. If you don't expect to have a lot of I/O you can also choose this option. Then click "Next"

Enter name and size and click "Next".

Click "Finish"

I know, it will take a while...

Click "Next"

Click "Finish"

Select your Virtual Machine (on the left) and click on CD/DVD-ROM

Put your MIcrosoft Windows XP installation CD/DVD in your hosts CD drive and mount it to install Windows from a CD/DVD. Click on "OK" and then start the Virtual Machine.

Thats it!
