[xubuntu] Hangup installing virtual machine

Hi, folks,

I'm trying to install Xubuntu as a virtual machine, using Vmware, on an XP host. I'm using a .iso file that's on the hard drive--not a live CD. Partway through the install, I get an error message: "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system", which is odd, since that's after the point where the Xubuntu splash screen has come up and the install has started; obviously, the .iso has been found at that point.

Any suggestions about how to fix or work around this hangup?

Thanks!

I.
