I386 Error When Installing Xp
going through a Windows XP sp2 installation on a Mac OS X 10.5.2 host, I'm getting a windows xp installation failed i386 asms fatal error form the Windows setup that I can't figure out. The error says, "Fatal error: One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup the file asms on windows xp professional service pack 2 cd is needed could not be installed. The parameter is incorrect." That's all it tells me. Doesn't say which component is being installed. At first I thought it was some setting I had set that maybe was not fully supported yet. So I deleted my vm

and hard drive image and started from scratch, using nothing but the default settings, except to automatically capture the CD drive. Still getting the same error. I haven't tried with any other versions of Windows yet. This is my first attempt. Am I doing something wrong? Host machine is a 20" alum iMac. All the latest software updates are installed.

I opened a command prompt by pressing Shift-F10 in the XP installer and changed directories to d:\i386\asms. All looked well. At this point I suspected a scratched disc or some media problem so I burned a fresh copy of the disc. This is a volume license copy of XP SP2. This also failed with the same error. I then took the ISO of the XP SP2 disc that I had just burned and mounted it as a CD. I tried the install again and this time it went through just fine, so it seemed to have a
