Windows XP Not Installing

[afcisa]

I have installed Parallels for Mac successfully on my new aluminum iMac. However, when it asks to insert the Windows XP disk, my computer rejects the disk and it is automatically ejected. How can I get around this? Thanks.

hi afcisa,

Make sure the copy is clean, faceing in the right direction, that it is not just the upgrade to Windows XP sp2. That it doesn't have a computer manufacturers ’ name on it .

Follow the instructions for installing a VM when it requests the cd-dvd for Win xp insert follow all on screen prompts.

You may need to make an .iso copy of xp. (Sometimes this is necessary) I will see if I can find the instructions for doing this.

When I find the link I will post it for you.

Look under EDIT your configuration should look something like this:
