Yeah, it seems like the XP won’t start without the motherboard drivers installed. It’s not using the default ones, and just booting isn’t happening. You could try swapping the drivers on the hard drive manually before moving, but it’s much more complicated than just reinstalling XP.

It's unclear what you're asking about. Did you mean to refer to a specific type of driver, like USB or SATA? Or are you asking about something else entirely?

The components related to the chipset or CPU are found in the "system devices" part of the device manager, covering all the small details on the motherboard. If the OS fails to start, this section is likely missing.

Windows 10 performs this check each time it starts. If hardware changes occur, basic drivers for important parts will be installed so the system can boot. Once running, Windows Update handles everything afterward. It’s not ideal, but it functions. I’ve used the same USB drive on five different computers, including my main system, and it works—though it runs slowly. My worries are about Windows XP; I doubt it could manage this.

You can use the upgrade disk as a bootable media in your VM, but since it's not an install disk, you'll need to format it first. Alternatively, you could try booting from another ISO or using a live environment if available.

Oracle VirtualBox and VMWare are the top choices for virtualization solutions I observe.
