"Press any key to boot from CD" - why?

Post by SteveMann »

I installed Win XP from an iso file that I created from the install disk so that my wife can play an old game that she enjoyed years ago.
When I start XP, I get "Press any key to boot from CD".
If I do nothing for a few seconds, it boots Windows XP normally.

Is there a way to skip this prompt so that my wife doesn't accidentally reinstall Windows XP?

You need to remove the XP install ISO from the virtual machine: see attached image.
