XP wont start installing

I'm trying to get an XP image up and running on Parallels 4.0 for MAC. It detects the O/S and starts the install process but then just hangs at the very 1st screen.

I read of others having problems installing from the CD so I created an ISO image (http://kb.parallels.com/en/4664) using Disk Utility and still have the exact same problem.

Anyone else experience this issue?

Thanks,

4. Create the ISO file with the dd utility (may take some time):

5. Test the ISO image by mounting the new file (or open with Finder):

$ hdid file.iso
