Error msgs loading Fedora

Post by mhendrix »

I keep getting error messages when trying to load any Fedora in VB on a Windows XP Home version SP3.
It worked fine on my Win 7 laptop, but don't have a clue what's going on here.
I've attached the log file, and the png file. I hope to zip the screenshot of the error msg for Fedora 13, which came out of the textbook. A+ cert. by Mike Meyers.

Geuss i should've stated that the Xp is running on an Athlon-64 3500+, on a PC Chips A13G+, only a gig of RAM tho, I figured that'd be enough to use for school.

Thanks Perryg,

I thought of that, but now that you've shown me about reading the log file, this newbie will try to add some more RAM if i want to use this machine for VB to run Fedora.

The error msg from Fedora 13, about re-initializing, is that like an fdisk, or format?

Pretty much. It is telling you that to proceed everything will be lost if there was anything on the disk, which there isn't.
Its just a standard CYA message.
