This approach will delete all personal and application files you use in XP. So Backup any files you need. Also recommended is VMWare Fusion version 5.
(1) Back up any files you will want to preserve
(2) shut down Windows using the Virtual Machine menu
(3) go to Virtual Machine menu and select Settings ...
(4) select Processors & Memory
(5) make sure you have at least 2GB (2000 MB) of memory allocated
(6) go to the Virtual Machine menu and select Hard Disk->Hard Disk Setting ...
(7) If your virtual hard disk is of the SCSI kind, delete or remove the virtual hard disk (if it is of the IDE kind you might be able to ignore this step and jump to step 11)
(8) select Virtual Machine menu again and Select Settings...
(9) select Add Device and select new Hard Disk
(10) select size you require (20GB is minimum) and change type to IDE if it's not selected already
(11) insert Windows 8 install CD into SuperDrive
(12) use the icons (on virtual machine window) to check SuperDrive is connected to the virtual machine
(13) press the large play button in the middle of the virtual machine window
(14) work through the Windows install
(15) when prompted select Custom install to delete all files
(16) sit back and relax, it will work through the installation
(17) once you're logged into Windows 8 go to Virtual Machine menu and select Install VMWare Tools
(18) follow the instructions to install the tools and then you're all done
