<br>
Fedora 13 clean install<br>
Gnome desktop<br>

[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ uname -a<br>
Linux mushroom.patch 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Dec

I just finished installing a Win XP VM using the Virtual
Machine Manager GUI. After the initial installation step the
VM wants to restart to complete the installation. I stopped
the VM and set the boot order to CD then HD. That restart
went well and the installation completed about 3:00 this
morning.<br>
<br>
When I was setting up the VM I selected the Windows type and
the Win XP subtype.<br>
<br>
I reset the boot order to HD then CD. When I tried to start
the VM after the install was complete it complained that it
couldn't find the CD ISO image because I had taken the CD out
of the drive. That would make sense seeing that the
installation was complete. I deleted the CD drive from the VM
hardware. That solved the missing CD ISO problem but now
there's the<br>
<br>
<br>
Booting from Hard Disk...<br>
<br>
NTLDR is missing<br>
Press and key to restart<br>
<br>
When I press "any key", that would be the really wide one at
the bottom of the key board, the above message is repeated
each time I press the "any key".<br>
<br>
I tried formatting the virtual disk with the NT file system
and with the FAT file system. I get the same result so that's
not the issue.<br>
<br>
I've installed VM's off this Win XP installation disk in the
past on earlier Fedora versions and they would boot up so I
know it's not the install disk. I've tried everything I can
think of or find on Google searches and I'm getting really
tired of three hour Win XP install sessions.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong with this set up?<br>
