I have purchased "Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 WITH WINDOWS XP

installs needed a Windows repair, so I wanted to boot from the Windows XP
Pro CD but I don't seem to have one supplied with the product!
THREE CDs where supplied, 2 Installation CDs, and one labelled "Additional
Windows System Files", none of these CDs are bootable, so when I RESET the
Virtual Machine it just ignores the CD. I have tried booting from a REAL XP
PRO disk which I happen to have and this works, but I do need the version
used to install the VM.
Is there some way of generating a boot CD somehow? Or am I missing a CD from
the product?
The CDs included are not bootable. You can make them bootable via the
procedure on my website.
