I have everything configured but when i start the virtual machine it does not let me use the page down key on the EULA or the F8 key to accept the EULA and continue installing Windows XP.

I am installing windows XP Service pack 3 on Gen 1 virtual machine.

Any one out there know what I am doing wrong? Those keys work on other apps.

    You'll need to use your old keyboarding skills until you can install the integration services (vmguest.iso)

    What I needed to do was use the fn key in conjunction with whatever other key I needed to use which is why I was confused at first.

    I have now been able to install it, I found out I need to press FN key+ any other key I want to press.

    However, I am not able to add any media such as USB drives. Any insight on this?

    Ok, well it's been a long time since I installed it but it came be done for sure. You won't be able to do much with it since the browser is IE6 (can only upgrade to IE8!) chrome will not install, too old. You can try installing the integration services
