Parallels 3 build 4128 - New MacBook Pro 3.1

Parallels 3 build 4128 - New MacBook Pro 3.1-PROBLEM!!

I am running OS X 10.4.10, 2gb memory. I installed Parallels (twice, following the knowledge base article "Problems When Installing or Running Parallels Desktop for uninstall). Then I use all the defaults for the install, using XP Express Install. I selected the "More Productive Virtual macine(Default). I got the XP install as far as the last 9 minutes where it was "saving settings" before it "suspended" and the little green squares at the bottom of the screen were not moving . I cannot get it to complete.

I am experienced in XP but brand new to Mac.

I really REALLY need Parallels to work.

HELP PLEASE!

This is a PROBLEM I have posted. Anyone with a solution??

 

Transform your Windows XP CD into an ISO image, and try installing from that image.

Also make sure the windows CD you are trying to use is a SP2 version.

 

I will obtain Windows XP that includes SP2. My current CD doesn't INCLUDE it though I have the SP2 CD from MS.

I don't know what an ISO image is. Can you enlighten me?

Thanks.
