I am having trouble with installing Windows on VMWare Fusion. I used my Windows XP Home Edition disk and typed in my key and everything. Then I get this...
what is confusing? Just do what the second screen says, boot vmware off your Xp disc, and press r when there is an option to, not 100% of installs work.
think of the vm as a real machine. What would you do then?? You'd reinstall windows. So do that. Of course you should try to boot to safe mode and run the windows repair from dvd but I think you already tried that. Either way, blow away the vm and reinstall windows.
So lets clarify. You have tried to "reinstall" windows several times and the resulting VM has not worked, correct? If the answer to this is yes. I'd say it is time to reinstall Fusion. I would use the downloaded code from VMWare. Just plug in your serial number key off our CD envelope when they ask for the key. Don p.s. have you deleted all VM folders from the machine?
