Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / June 2004running Windows on Virtual PC 6
I recently installed Virtual PC 6.1.1 for mac. I can only get it to run in DOS mode so I figured i needed to install the operating system. I found my old windows XP disc and tried to install it After accepting the license agreement, it said to insert the CD and hit enter. I ejected the CD and reinserted and it kept saying the same message. I appears my disc isn't being read properly. How can I either install widows XP from my disk, or find another way to run windows (any version) on Virtual PC? >I recently installed Virtual PC 6.1.1 for mac.

Does the disc you're inserting have a pre-installed Windows OS? >How can I either install widows XP from my disk, or find another >way to run windows (any version) on Virtual PC? You can install Windows manually, just like you would on a real computer Steve Jain, Microsoft MVP for Virtual PC for Windows Website: http://www.essjae.com *** All posts are provided AS-IS, no warranty, no QoS *** > I recently installed Virtual PC 6.1.1 for mac.

Create a new drive image, name it and set up the parameters following the prompts (Choose XP not DOS). Start up that drive image, it will complain "OS Not Found." Close it. Now insert the XP CD. Start up drive image again, XP CD should be recognized and install starts. |
