XP installation hangs when creating Virtual Machine(VMWare Player)

Hi guys.

I have been trying to create a new VMWare Virtual machine(for my desktop) within VMWare Player and I can not seem to get it working.

I have watched the YouTube Videos, and read through documentations. But obviously, there is something I am doing wrong.

Here is what I did.

- Installed VMWare Player(on my desktop)

- Created a new Virtual Machine(Gave it 20.0 g space), and pointed to the XP installation disc on my drive. I also tried this with iso images

- Then it asks me to download the VMWare Tools which I did

-Then it launched the OS installation Window to install the XP operating system

But then it does nothing. It hangs there. The black XP window with the progress bar not moving.

I am desperate to get this up and working. Can someone please help me with this
