floppies at reboot. But after specifying the mass storage device, the
computer stops with "Please wait..." below. Then my computer reboots
itself!!!!

Hi, just installed Virtual PC 7 with Windows 2000 Professional with no

disk), and the original upgrade CD for VPC6.

I need to use the '\' key in VPC when I press this the key that gives me \

Any ideas please?

I'm getting really desperate here because I am getting a string of
useless advice on this issue.  I've already tried installing from Safe
Boot and copying the CD onto my hard drive first, and it's always the
same thing.  During the restart of the installation process, I'm told
