    I am having problems getting this programme to work. Does anyone have it, and how have they installed it and subsequent installation of another Windoze on it? I have a RAID 0 setup for c:\ so its not detecting it, and the readme file is useless... Also, as I am on XP Pro, when I install the W2K disc to install it on the virtual drive I did make up on my f:\ drive, XP won't let the install functions be enabled because its an older Windoze version.

    Seanie.

    Seanie post the question here . When I was setting up mine had trouble and got my answers from the knowledge base and the newsgroup.

    Warning about Virtual PC. You need loads of ram if you are planning to run a few o/s. Possibly about twice as much as the recommended for each o/s

    Thanks Chris. I have 3GB of RAM, so that should be enough!

    i use this a bit. I have a dual boot machine, both win xp pro - one for games one for work. On my work os i have virtual pc 2004 - in this i run another win xp as I have installed visual studio 2005 - as its a beta, its easier to run it in a virtual pc window in case you need to trash it

    have 1.5 gig - runs fine - almost as fast as normal os
