Just so you know, when I hover over them in the Virtual Machine listing,
they show the same location.

Well, at the Fusion startup window, on the Fusion menu up top, I went to
File > Open > (browsed to Windows XP Professional in the Windows Virtual
Machine folder on my external drive) and pressed and it started!
When I stopped it and started Fusion again, another Virtual Machine shows on
the Virtual Machine Library (Windows XP Professional - OneTouch4 Mini 1).
When I start using it, it displays a couple of error windows, but it
eventually works. The error windows that display when starting with this
new Virtual Machine includes:
1- It appears that other virtual machines are running. (I select OK)
2- Fail to connect to device 'cdrom0': The device is in use by another
application. (I select OK)
3- Windows then starts, but gives me the large play button in the circle on
a black screen and when I click on it, it starts windows.
4- When I select Turn Off Computer, it goes back to above and starts all
over again so it won't let me shut down Fusion.
The other Virtual Machine that was already there still gives me the same
problem.
Is this common that users have all these problems? Is Parallels better?
Should I change?
Thanks again Boris! Sorry to be such a pain here.

For some reason, when I ran the repair disk, Mac (Finder) stopped
recognizing the external drive where the virtual disk and Windows is
located, so Apple Care had me unplug all USB devices, restart the computer
and plug them back in. Finder is now recognizing my Maxtor external drive
(the one for Windows and Money), but when I try to start the Virtual
Machine, I get the window prompting me to put the Windows CD in the drive,
then I get a Fatal Error window, then a System Log window, then it starts
again. The only way I can get out of the loop is to do a force quit.
Keep in mind that everything worked fine yesterday.
Ugh!
