Installing XP in VirtualBox from EeePC recovery disk

Hi all,
I have just installed VirtualBox then was installing XP from a EeePC recovery disk.
I did this a couple of times with the same result, once using the 10g fixed Virtual drive & the enlarge as you go type drive. It installs not a problem then when it boots to XP the first time, the XP logo comes up the Symatec Ghost loads and then says that the physical drive isn't big enough, quits and reboots and says NTLDR is missing - press ctrl - alt - del to restart.

Anyone else tried to install from a recovery disk before or knows what to do from here?

Thanks
Russ Goy

You must have a real XP Installation Disk. Recovery CDs mostly not work, because the same environment is needed.
