I have Windows 7 Professional hosting Ubuntu inside VirtualBox for my development machine. To test my site, I run Internet Explorer and hit my Ubuntu box. This works great for Internet Explorer 8, the default browser on this Windows machine.
I also want to run another VM with a copy of Windows XP with Internet Explorer 6 or Internet Explorer 7.
Where can I download ISO image files of old copies of Windows XP? I've looked in Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image and these only run in Virtual PC/XP Mode which won't run while VirtualBox is running.
The only XP download is the XP-Mode that works with Win 7. Any other installation of Win XP Virtual. Whether it is on Microsoft VPC, VMware, or Virtual Box, the installation is done via the original OS CD. Windows XP Professional ISO for Free Windows XP Home Edition ISO – Windows XP Home ISO Windows XP ISO, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP SP3, 64 bit, 32 bit Download.
If I have to run VirtualBox (can't work without Ubuntu running the site), is there any way to test Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 from the same Windows 7 machine?

Using a VirtualPC VHD in VirtualBox:

I have confirmed that this works on VirtualBox 4, I am able to download the Microsoft Windows XP image from the site you linked and run it in VirtualBox. You do get a lot of 'Found New Hardware' warnings though.
Alternative: Convert VirtualPC VHD to VirtualBox VDI:
Have you tried to convert the Internet Explorer test VirtualPC VHD files to the VirtualPC VDI files? That might possibly work, but I have no way to test...
There are some instructions here which I will sum up briefly:
I would assume the process is very similar for working within Windows, just install or download QEMU and run the above commands from within the QEMU/VirtualBox directories.

Windows Xp Home Edition Iso Download
Windows XP is generally not available for download in ISO format from legitimate sources.
All an ISO file is is a bit-for-bit image of a CD or DVD. You can make your own from most physical CD/DVDs using commonly available software including most CD/DVD authoring software. If you have a spare Windows XP CD and license, you can either use it to make an ISO and mount it in VirtualBox (or any other virtual machine software) or you can use the CD directly in the VM.
However running a virtual OS merely to test the browser seems a bit like overkill. As pointed out by @Nifle, you may want to look at the answers to this question.
