Based on the virtual machine setup and using the Easy Install feature of VMware Fusion, the installation of Windows XP is nothing else then powering on the virtual machine.
In the Virtual Library, double-click the new virtual machine to start up the guest. One the machine finished it’s initialization, you’ll notice that Windows XP will be automatically installed using the default options.
The time needed to perform the installation of Windows and the VMware tools depends on your Apple hardware but should not exceed 20 minutes. Once the process terminated, the virtual machine is ready to use but we still have to do some manual tweaks to use the second hard disk as this is not covered by the automatic installation. This is covered in the Partitioning section of this tutorial.
