Hey all,
Fedora 13 clean install
Gnome desktop
[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ uname -a
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.
When I was setting up the VM I selected the Windows type and
the Win XP subtype.
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
Booting from Hard Disk...
NTLDR is missing
Press and key to restart
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".
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.
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.
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong with this set up?
