    I have an unattended Windows XP installation I made with nLite slipstreaming all the drivers I need for my new laptop.

    I'm trying to test it on Windows Virtual Machine 2007 but when it gets to the GUI bit an error message pops up about not having enough virtual memory and then the virtual machine reboots.

    Is this a problem with the virtual machine or with the installation? I have the VM set to take 1024mb ram and 15gb virtual hdd.

    For the unattended setup, the options I used were:

    Unattended mode: Provide defaults
    OEM Preinstall: Enabled (I slipstreamed the AHCI drivers)
    Computer type: Automatic
