I can't install WinXP in Virtualbox - says CD is missing file afd.sys

I can't install WinXP in Virtualbox - the installation stops and says CD is missing file afd.sys. The CD is clean and barely used, and it reads fine. It is a duplicate CD so maybe that is the problem, but it's been used for installation on a "real" machine without problem.

Maybe the cd drive of the host computer is toast.

New computer, cd drive works fine for everything else. But I did enjoy "host is toast" - sounds like a rap song!

Maybe Virtualbox doesn't like your copy of windows xp...is this an OEM disc? (Compaq, HP, Dell, Toaster...)
