Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / August 2007Recovery Console for VPC 6.1.1/Win 2000
I'm using Virtual PC 6.1 on an old PowerMac G4, MacOS 9.2.2. The virtual machine is running Windows 2000 SP3 as installed from the VPC CD; it's been updated to SP4 via Windows Update, plus a variety of different security updates and what-not have been applied. How do I enable Recovery Console? The VPC 6 box doesn't contain an original Win2000 setup CD, so the instructions mentioned in the Microsoft Knowledge Base don't apply. Nor do any of the standard instructions I've been able to find. This is unique to VPC 6, as it comes with a pre-installed OS. > I'm using Virtual PC 6.1 on an old PowerMac G4, MacOS 9.2.2.

AFAIK, the installation disk which is part of VPC doesn't contain any sort of recovery facility. That's part of the full Windows install media. So, if your virtual machine gets hosed, to recover, you reinstall.  SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee... >> I'm using Virtual PC 6.1 on an old PowerMac G4, MacOS 9.2.2.

That is correct. The Windows discs included with VPC are not complete and are missing key files that allow them to boot. |
