Just installed VMFusion v2.0, opted for virtual machine using Bootcamp, received the following DOS-looking message (hadn't seen that in a while!) "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time .... restart ..... (then) follow these steps: ..... Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newlay installed hard drives ..... " can include more if need be. Offers to let me restart in Safe, Safe with Network, yada, yada, yada.....
At hard reboot, get black DOS screen with similar message. Can't get past either screen, very perplexing.
BTW, this is an iMac running 10.5.6, and XP (version ?); also, suspecting it might have halted after detecting my two external harddrives, and various other Firewire and USB attached peripherals, I disconnected all, stripped down to basic machine no peripherals.
In desperate need of help. I now understand recent version upgrades I need to install once I get up again, but, got to get to that point first.
