Hi all, I've set up FC13 64bit on a machine with an intel i7 and 4G memory

I'm trying to get a simple virtualisation to work. I followed the
instructions here ->

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Installing_Windows_XP_as_a_fully_virtualized_guest.html 



The install of XP runs fine but when it reboots to run the GUI part of
the install I get this message in the VM's console:-

Booting from Hard Disk:

A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart


It almost seems that the XP boot loader can't find the virtual disk.

I must have missed something obvious - but what?

Thanks for any pointers


Ken
