File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded.

I have created a basic virtual machine, amended the memory and am now trying to install Windows XP.

Windows XP setup runs but some way in it reports:

> File \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. The error code is 512.
>
> Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.

The name of the file changes but this happens every time I try to install Windows XP.

I have tried a different Windows XP disc so a faulty disc would appear to have been ruled out. I have also successfully installed native mac os programs from cdrom so the cdrom drive would seem okay.

Any ideas? I am using the latest release candidate on a Macbook Pro with 2GB of memory.

Many thanks,

I'm having the same issue trying to install to a MacBook (not Pro). I know it's not a bad XP disc, since I used the same one to install XP on a Boot Camp partition.

Other thoughts?
