Parallel/ Windows XP Help

bluegojoe · #1 August 21st, 2008, 12:36 AM

So I really have no idea what I'm doing anymore. Maybe I'm just really bad with computers. But anyway I have I purchases parallels over the internet and I have a Windows XP Home Edition disc that I was trying to install. But I keep getting
640 KB Base Memory
10240000 KB Extended Memory
Boot From Hard Drive.

That's basically it. A Black Screen with those those cursed words.
I tried reading everything in the manual and googling it, but I just can't seem to find the answer.
That or I might be skipping over something.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
