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)

    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?

    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.
