I have just bought virtual PC 7 and am trying to install it on my
brand new mac book. When i insert the installation disk into the
computer it takes 30 seconds then automatically ejects the disk
without displaying anything on screen. I know the cd drive is working
because i've installed other software without any issues. Of the three
disk's the only one that the computer is able to read is the one
marked "additional windows system files"

help!

you cannot install Virtual PC on an Intel-based Mac (i.e. your
Macbook). it is incompatible. You need a program like Parallels instead.

AND you need to purchase a standalone copy of Windows. You are not
allowed to use the one in VPC.
