It had to be a service pack 2 build of xp to work, from memory, otherwise
there would be the failure on thereboot. From there it was a no-brainer,
build an image file as a virtual hard disk. Use ip masquerade to forward
theinternet. Boot the virtual machine with the installation disk and follow
the prompts. Try a SP2 build of XP, if you have problems, I will redo the
install on my new laptop and make up a howto. Let me know.
