Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / January 2007Help with crashed Virtual PC 7
If anyone has been here, I'd appreciate any advice: My screen reads: AMIBIOS(C)2001 American Megatrends, Inc. BIOS Date: 08/14/03 19:41:02 Ver: 08.00.02 Press DEL to run Setup Checking NVRAM.. 160MB OK Auto-Detecting Pri Master..IDE Hard Disk Auto-Detecting Pri Slave...Not Detected Auto-Detecting Sec Master..CDROM Auto-Detecting Sec Slave...Not Detected Pri Master: 1. 1 Virtual HD Sec Master: Virtual CD CMOS Settings Wrong CMOS Date/Time Not Set Press F1 to Run SETUP Press F2 to load default values and continue - I am of course trying to press F2, but on my Mac this only increases the brightness on my screen. So, 1) how do I emulate the F2 key ( PC version ), and 2) failing all else, is there a simple method oof importing all the info from my crashed Virtual HD into a new Virtual HD? Thanks, Andrew Wiard 1) you dont to emulate f2. You only must push the function key (fn) together with f2, because OSX by defect assigns the function keys like f1 f2 etc to hardware options (brightness, volume) 2) if the virtual hds are fat formatted, simply open disk assistant ( on virtual pc, command + d) and select the hd you wanna open, and then browse through the unit and copy your data to another virtual hd opened with the same method, or to one folder on your computer. With another non- fat formats i don´t know. I hope it works, by works normaly so, with documents, etc, what i have never been able to transfer is the entire hd information; in my case, windows; i suppose its because it has so many hidden files that dont get copied , like it happens with osx. Sorry for the bad english > 1) you dont to emulate f2.
