Which is more efficient to install Win XP in NTFS or FAT 32?
I know if it is NTFS I can't mount the HD to my desktop. But is FAT 32

I use VPC/XP Pro at the office.  We have a Novell network to which I
have to authenticate...  I have the latest greatest novell cleint
installed...  Everything's been working great.  When I'm at home I
skip Novell and just authenticate to windows

I keep getting the error "Unhandled PowerPC exception 0x700 - Program
Fault".  It has gotten to the point where I can't even run VPC.  The error

aluminum powerbook.

Does anyone know of a USB cam that works with virtual pc 7 on a duel 2.0 mac
g5?  
I haven't been able to get my Phiilips Toucam pk 740 to work.  The mac

I am thinking of switching to Apple at home. In order to connect to
shared resources at work, I need to run Shiva VPN Client. Is it
possible?

Since installing VPC 7 (XP Pro) on a QS 2002 G4, I find that the Save PC
State (carry forward undoable changes) takes about 2-3 minutes to Œsave¹,
and then same with starting up again. This happens regardless of memory
allocated to XP. Anyone else have this problem on the G4? Is ...

OK, so I had one of those strange problems where the Mac just froze,
and I had to do a power off to get it to come back.  Since then,
Virtual PC won't startup saying it can't find the BOOT.INI file.
