Okay so, I tried to partition my computer with like, 20 GB's for Windows, and after like, 10 minutes or so of bootcamp telling me it was partitioning the disk, it says that it cannot verify the disk or something. I just gave up because it wouldnt work and kept freezing my computer. So I opted for VMware, whatever I downloaded it and everything was perfectly fine, I got Windows XP to work and all that, but the tools wont install and this is what it says when i click install,
"Installing the VMware Tools package will greatly enhance graphics and mouse performance in your virtual machine. WARNING: You cannot install the VMware Tools package until the guest operating system is running. If you guest operating system is not running, choose Cancel and install the VMware Tools package later." The options are either Cancel or Install and I chose install. After a few minutes and a few windows popping up saying Windows Installer and blah blah, it says this,
"The windows installer service could not be accessed. this can occur if you are running on windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. contact your support personnel for assistance."

-_______- what do I do?
