Ok, you don't need to necessarily do a manual installation. There's
another PDF called "VPC 6-Mac--OS Installation Guide", which is the
one you want to use. While its written for VPC 6, all the relevant
info is the same, you may find one or two of the Mac's menus or
options slightly different.

If you purchased VPC with XP Home, then all you should need to do is
the standard installation and you will have a completed install. You
cannot do a manual installation from the included Windows CD's without
doing the modifications you read in my other PDF.

After you initially installed VPC, you should have been prompted to
put in one of your Windows CD's to finish the installation, did you do
that?
