are obsolete.

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I was using Win98

I've just installed Virtual PC 7 on my new Powerbook. After
successfully installing Windows XP, I noticed that there was an extra
disc included which says "Additional Windows System Files". I inserted
the disc which is called "WXPP_SP2_EN" when inserted. After manually

I would like to upgrade my PowerBook to Tiger, but I must have Virtual PC
for work. I am running on VPC 6.1 since I saw no good reason to upgrade.

I have a problem with getting my VPC to detect an original Win 95 CD. I
am using VPC 7.0.1
Has anyone encountered same problem.
