additional USB drivers to accomplish this?

Hi to everyone reading this.
Im a bit new to Apple Mac and intrested in buying the iMac G5 and
Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Pro. But I have a question to the Mac
Pros.

I have an eMac and recently installed Virtual PC 6.1 on it. I
installed Windows 2000 Professional and it seems to be running pretty
smoothly. The only problem is I can't get it online. (I know im a nub.
) The connection works fine when I'm in the Mac OS, but when I switch

If I'm using (say) an image editor under OSX, and I've got VPC running (6 at
the moment, 7 is always a possibility if it helps) so I can simply save the
files directly to that drive (long story, but testing an IIS application so
want to save time copying the images from the share ...

I usually use VPC on my PowerBook with Airport Extreme

no connection, it gets snotty when I try and restart because the networking
is wrong.

Now that VPC 7 (with XP) has been out a bit, has anyone found performance

2. Is VPC7 really faster than VPC 6 (I will be using Win2000 Pro)?

I have a pb15 and am trying to get my verizon evdo card to work
however vpc does not recognize even though it is recognized in osx.
Any Idea's

I'm using a mac and having problems viewing some sites with advanced

media player but no luck

When I boot up the Virtual PC, the window turns black, and it says "OS
not found.  Install OS on this hard drive.  How do I install an Os on
this harddrive?

I just bought a VPC 6.0 and I have a Mac 10.2.1 (Panther) and 1.2g of ram.
I cannot install an OS; I follow instructions to install manually, insert
the CD (Window 95 from a previous VPC 2.0), you can see it accepts the CD,
but nothing else happens.. its does not install window 95.. ...

I just installed VPC6.1 under OSX manually.  I want to install my own
Windows 2000 operating system.
The help menu says that the error message after installation will be that
the drive image is not bootable.
