I installed VPC 7.0 w/Win XP Pro then upgraded to 7.02
during install of disks it says "installing windows" after finished
a black screen with Windows XP Professional on top of screen (not in
screen) pops up . At this point I am supposed to configure windows
but there is no START button at bottom left in fact it's just a blank
black screen. The manual says go to "DRIVES" select "CAPTURE DISK"
then go to "PC" and hit RESET"
I did all that and I get NO OS found.
does anybody know what is wrong ?

thanx
Lorne

Did you purchase Virtual PC with or without Windows? Depending on
whether VPC came bundled with XP makes a difference on how to install
and which set of directions to follow.

Still no Windows !
During installation where you get to setup assistant and configure
windows it says CLICK Start Windows! After I do that a blank black
screen appears. At this point I am able to do NOTHING in the window.
How do I get windows to work ?

In your first post you mention inserting a CD, rebooting, etc. That won't
work with the Windows thats included with VPC. You can't manually install
it.
Windows is already preinstalled and should just get copied over when you do
an install of VPC.
I no longer have a Mac setup so I can't give you exact directions, sorry.
If you can't get it resolved before the weekend, I'll see if I can get my
mini hooked up.
A while back there were some similar posts about installation problems, and
IIRC, the solution was to not restart the Mac when prompted by VPC, but
continue the installation.
At some point during the installation you should get a prompt for the next
CD. If the install goes correctly, it will copy Windows and set it up in
the VPC List.
Can you try the install from scratch again and see what happens?

Steve,
I=B4m having exactly the same problem and I did purchase the complete
version (with XP Pro).
I reinstalled twice, eliminated VPC 6 I had, etc.; nothing seems to
work.
I=B4ve got 3 disks on the box but installation process only requested 2;
the one labeled "Additional Windows System Files" was never used.
Thanks,
Ricardo

I have done no progress ! Still stuck with the XP installation. The
indication about the 3rd disk is irelevant at this stage.
Is there no other suggestion ?
