Why is my Boot Camp installation freezing when I try to install Windows?

Asked by nikipedia (28072points) July 12th, 2010

Trying to install Boot Camp on a new MacBook Pro at work. Hard drive appears to be successfully partitioned. When the computer reboots to install Windows (an old XP Professional upgrade disk), it freezes at the screen that asks if I want to install, repair an installation, or quit installation and I have to reboot.

The weird thing is, I used the same disk to install Windows via VirtualBox on the same machine. So I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with the disk?

Any brilliant ideas out there on what could be going wrong with this installation?
