Hi, I'm a Macbook owner and just got Parallels and XP w/SP2. Every time I try to install XP, the installation stalls at 33 minutes. Has anyone else had this problem? Solutions, anyone?!
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, my P4 PC does that sometimes. Its normally because its looking at the SATA controller, and gets stumped for a while. Normally he'll just continue on after about a half an hour or so. Windows XP installer has Alzhemiers disease. I swear it does.
Hey I had the same problem as you guys and i finally came across the answer.
