XP not loading

[shawnshawn]

I'm trying to load XP, but its not loading. What do I need to do to start the loading process? I put XP CD in and click power on button, it pulls up a black screen with some writing but nothing is happening.
Thanks

it would be handy to know why its not working... screen shot.. error msg.. the "writing" you see...

It's not that its not working...I was installing it before and when I got to the liscensing widow I didn't realize I had to press fn key to get the F8 agree key to work, so i quit the installation. I'm trying to reinstall it and when I click inside to capture input and press enter to get the installing process to work, nothing happens. Any suggestions?
Thanks

The easiest solution is to delete the VM and start over. Once you get it working, be sure to back it up.
