VMWare v4.5 & FC3

[Lotsa Cabo]

Okay, what gives?  I just installed FC3 into VMWare v4.5 on an XP host.
Man, is it SLOOOOOOOOOW!  It took almost 45 minutes just to boot.  My
configuration is as follows:
 
    PIII 1.2 GHz
    WinXP Pro SP2
    512MB with 256MB dedicated to the virtual machine
    VM hard drive image is 5GB (all allocated)
    VM hard drive image is on a partition by itself

Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and how to get it up
to a livable speed.
 
Thanx,
Ryan
