The max video ram for a VMWare virtual machine is is 128MB. Anything less gives stange problems, if the Media Center app even starts at all. Second, Meda Center requires 256MB of video ram.
Either convert the disks to ISOs or Google on installing XP-MCE to Boot camp for workarounds. The Mac CD eject button may not work during the initial install. You need to switch the CDs during install. First, the whitebox XP-MCE comes on 2 CDs. You need a "whitebox" version of XP-MCE, rather than a "branded" version of Windows.Īssuming you still obtain a copy of XP-MCE, since it's not being sold anymore, a couple of caveats. That's what's probably causing the reboots. Since you have a Gateway branded copy of XP-MCE, the installation is probably installing drivers specific to that model of Gateway that the disks were intended for. That said, XP-MCE is normally only available as an OEM install. It will work in a virtual machine, Fusion or otherwise. It has the Media Center stuff added and the ability to join domains disabled.
