Thanks

There are many things you can do with VPC, I have XP, Win2k Server and Server2003. Will can only download XP and have to "install" the others, I know other people have gotten other OS to work too.
Check out these areas for more information its all been writen out so I wont repeat it.
Virtualization - Windows 7 Forums
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials
In both places you will find TONS of infomoration and better writen out then what I can do here.
Back at home, and on Prometheus.
Back on topic, to install other operating systems into virtual pc, do the following:
You can get more info by looking at the tutorials Tutorials - Windows 7 Forums=, as suggested by DarkXeno
- Click the Start Orb
- Click "All Programs"
- Click "Windows Virtual PC"
- Click "Virtual Machines"
- Click "Create virtual machine", then follow on-screen instructions.
- Right-click the newly created virtual machine to adjust advanced settings
- Select the "DVD Drive" option. Either access a physical drive, or mount an ISO image. If you use the physical drive, insert your OS boot install disc into you drive.
- Double-click to start the virtual machine
- Follow the usual routine for installing an OS
another question.
Does WVPC support 64bit virtual OS? I'm looking around in the options but can't seem to find it. Looks like i gonna have to download the 32-bit version.
As far as I know, VPC currently only supports 32-bit operating systems.
One of my favourite new features though is the ability to use USB devices in the virtual environment. I haven't played much with it yet, but I'm hoping I'll be able to use my Canon Lide 20 scanner (for which I cannot get 64-bit drivers) inside Windows XP Mode. I'll be checking this out later today when I get back from work.
