I am using Sun VM Virtualbox and trying to install Windows Xp as a virtual machine. It gets about 2/3 the way through: to the "installing Windows" step. It goes for about 2 minutes and then this error message lights up:

Code:

Error:SXS.Dll: Syntax error in manifest or policy file "D:\386\asms\1000\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\GDIPLUS.MAN" on line 4.

Error:Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message: The request could not be preformed because of an I/O device error.

Fatal Error: One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.

(end)

Does anyone know what it means or how to fix it? Please and thank you!

Best place is the Sun site forum.
