[Fixed]VirtualBox Booting Windows XP error

I've never had problems with my Windows XP I have installed for Virtual Box with my Arch Host.  Throughout different versions of VirtualBox I've always been able to boot into it but today I try to boot my windows in Virtualbox and while booting windows you get to the loading screen with the windows xp logo and before it finishes loading the window just closes.  I haven't really found anything that hints it in the log except for this at the very end

00:00:14.141 Changing the VM state from 'DESTROYING' to 'TERMINATED'

Is there anywhere else I could find feedback on what the issue is? I tried booting my 2nd Arch within Virtualbox and it works fine so it appears to be my windows install itself that is the problem but I'm not sure what the issue is.

Tried using the windows CD repair console to fix the boot, mbr, and did the automatic repair thing and it still isn't working.  I get the loading screen, then it switches to black for about a second before crashing.

Used the repair tool on the cd a few times and it seems to work now.
