Looking for some assistance with VPC 2007. Installed Vista, installed and
configured VPC 2007, rebooted and installed XP. The machine will only boot
XP, so I installed VPC 2007 on XP but when it try to open the virtual PC it
hangs at the prompt that has to do with the network card. I see it display
the MAC address in that DOS window, but it never goes any further.

Obviously I did something wrong as I can't get back to Vista. I almost
expected a dual boot situation.

Appreciate any help getting this configured.

Thanks.

Thanks Rick. That was the answer. I am now once again booting the Vista
operating system.

When I try to run VPC 2007, it still hangs looking for something network
related. DHCP I think. Any ideas on that?

Thanks.

Tried all of the options related to the network adapter. Can you point me
to some instructions for setting this virtual machine up?

I read in this newsgroup about NIC drivers causing a problem, but it was a
BSOD issue. Maybe different NIC drivers could help me too?

Thanks for your help!

Dummy me. Vista had all the help I needed! I am making a new XP disk to
install into the VM. Should have it up and running soon.

That appears to have done it. I have the XP startup running, just like as I
was installing it normally! Now copying files! We're on our way!

Thanks again for your help!
