If Windows 7 Pro is installed, have you investigated the WinXP virtual asspect?  See here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode

yes, i does it
but virtualbox and xpmode are not reactive.

 

however, i solved the problem, i got in EFI preferences and i have changed hard disk SATA in "IDE"

so it was possible to install WinXp :smileyhappy:

 

thank you anyway
