Re: XP pro install
Try with a different disc, the one you used might be damaged.

Re: XP pro install
Create an ISO on that machine and transfer it to the Host you want to have the VM on, the disc might have read errors in that drive. Would not be the first time I see it, because it happens on my own system too, laptop gives read errors, PC reads it fine.
