Ok, I am stupid. How hard can it be to virtualize Chicago with VPC 2007 and ISOs.

    VPC is trying to boot off the LAN card.

    I dunno much about the builds and thier ISOs though, so I dunno what method of installing to use.

    The problem is that the ISO isn't bootable, so, as BOD mentioned, VPC tries to boot off its emulated network.

    Try getting a Windows boot floppy image and capture that as A: and the ISO as D:. When it's finished booting off the floppy, goto the D drive and run setup.

    can't get this specific bootdisk to accept the fact that it is ISO, just burned a CD ;).

    Weird. The bootdisk has CD drivers, right (I know I know, I'm just checking)?

    But the cd doesn`t have any boot record (or EL TORITO boot cd system) on it.... :p

    for create a working boot cd, when you`re burning the cd in nero, create the boot record from an boot diskette image (or Install Diskette image) (or just download an image of it) :) of the OS :)

    in the case of windows, you must search the correct boot disk image for start the installation (not the normal bootdisk that Windows creates) :) and them add it to make the boot record for make the cd booteable :)

    for more info go to this website (creating a booteable cd in nero 6): :)http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=297

    "X:/SETUP.EXE" into dos (x meaning the letter of your cd drive). Hope that helps.
