6 hours and counting trying to get windows XP installed on Fusion. I have been trying alternately to migrate a PC onto the Mac and start fresh from a new install from a flash drive. Everything so far is a fail. Multiple restarts of both computers. I have made several ISO files - all fail. Firewalls are turned off, file sharing is on. I have listened to several tutorials several times. The Mac book I am trying to install in is just a couple of months old.
Errors:
Frozen screen with spinning beach ball
VMWare screen frozen with "Starting" progress bar frozen
Blank frozen screen
Error messages:
"Converter failed to connect to remote machine."
"The operation failed for '192.168.1.101' due to incorrect user credentials."
"Operating system not found."
"No boot filename received."
I am beginning to wonder if I should get my money back and get away from this software and never look back.
