Re: virtual PC

Virtual Machines have BIOS setup just like a physical PC. When
you start a VPC machine you'll need to press "Del" to enter BIOS
and setup the Boot Sequence ( CD, Hard Disk ).
Next you'll need to insert your OS disk in the Optical drive. When
the VPC starts it's sometimes necessary to click the text option"CD"
and click the "Use Physical Drive _". If done correctly, the optical
will spin up and begin the OS setup routine.
