VirtualBox in Hardy

[CCBalla10]

Yeah so I got virtualbox to install using the Gusty version and everything seemed to be working right except when I try to install anything. I wanted to install windows xp and it freezes when trying to format NTFS. I have no idea why its not working. It is a legal install cd that came with my laptop. Anyone having this problem or know how to fix it?

yeah, i had this problem, the installation freezes at 20%.
i have 512 mb ram, and in the vbox settings i gave the guest os 500 mb ram, for that it freezes.
when i made it 256 ram for guest os, everything worked ok
