the buildos file relies VERY heavily on .NET framework, im not sure how stable that framework is when running on vmware because there are system services that go along with the install. Either way i would "guess" that your problem lies there. You could potentially hack up a nasty lookin kitchen in the format that createos used to use from the old kitchens, ive thought of it myself because there are some things about buildos that i dont like, but not enough for me to spend a multitude of hours rebuilding the kitchen haha. Anyways, glad you got it working off the xp partition.
