How can i do a clean install off of a NEC Ready 9702SE Recovery CD. The
CD-ROM gives me a message in VPC2004:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- File Restore: This option will restore the files on the C:/

- System Restore: Rebuilds the C:/ drive

- Exit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do I do? I am realy Confused. If I click Rebuild, Will the host
harddrive bo gone? I need a professional.

Well, you can't do this legally since your OEM Win95 is only licence
for your NEC.

As long as you are booting the CD from INSIDE the VM, your host hard
drive will not be affected.

And a retail licence of XP

You don't because it's illegal.

1) Messages inside the Virtual PC window only affect the Virtual PC.
2) If this is a NEC recovery CD, I should probably mention that its
obviously going to be tied to an OEM licence and your licence is hence very
unlikely indeed to allow you to install it in Virtual PC.

1) Get a legal copy of the OS you're trying to install.

2) Install it.
