I tried OpenStack on my laptop, my setup is as below.

Host Machine: Windows 7
Virtualization: VirtualBox

Ubuntu12 is running on this VirtualBox, and on this Ubuntu12, I installed OpenStack Essex packages with qemu as the hypervisor, and added few uec Linux images on to glance. I was able to access the Linux images using ssh and vnc, so it was a success.

However, it has become very challenging to upload a Windows image. I've tried all possible ways, searched Google and found lot of solutions, but nothing worked. So I converted my WindowsXp.vdi file to a WindowsXp.img file using VBoxManage and added to glance, however, once I launch it I am getting the Blue Screen of Death error and Windows XP is horribly restarting.

Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

How is "horribly restarting" different from regular restarting? Is there a bloodcurdling scream? -- In all seriousness, there's not much we can tell you here. You aren't telling us what you're doing to induce the blue screen (and if you're doing "nothing" -- i.e. it just blue screens when you literally do not perform any actions -- there's not much we can do at all). This may be a case for Microsoft or Oracle/VirtualBox support... – voretaq7♦ Aug 24 '12 at 1:56
