    I tried installing windows xp, but I hit F2 and it quit the installation. I tried again, but I couldn't even get to the screen I was at before. I tried to reinstall PD, and deleted the guest OS, and then created that again. When I try to install XP now, I get an error every time, that usually says something about ."sys error". Do i need a new copy of windows xp? What went wrong, and what can I do to make it work?


    - Thanks in advance.
