Boot from WinXP ISO don't work

Hi,

I have an ISO of Windows XP SP2 installer disc. It boots in Parallels, but when i try in Fusion, the VM screen keeps black, and the CPU usage goes 100%.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Can you upload the vmware.log file? It should be located inside the Virtual Machine directory.

Is the CD icon highlighted (blue)?

With an existing VM, can you connect the ISO image and see the CD contents?

Can you boot from other ISO images or physical disks?

Thanks!

Solved.

The iso was bad. I have used hdiutil to create the ISO, then tried mkisofs and worked.

Thanks!
