Message:Hello Colin, Hello Mark,
It is a totally legal version of Windows XP. The CD has the following text:
Dutch
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Upgrade with Service Pack 2
(Product Key Required)
I've cleaned the CD, made an image. Tried another version (today).
Still it doesn't work.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks anyway for your quick reactions!

Maybe clean the CD?
Or, if it's a pirate copy, throw it away and buy a legal one...?

Upgrade edition cannot simply be installed on its own any more than it can
be on a physical machine.

Well that's good, so long as it's not already installed on another machine
somewhere...
Ah, so it's an upgrade copy - what are you upgrading from...?
