| 1109066 | 2010-06-11 06:10:00 | If you've done this, how, or what did you use?? To save me going between this and the other PC to test ISO's, I've installed XP mode on this. Only thing is, you cant have the older Virtual PC installed (if XP mode is installed). So, you cant use ISO's | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1109069 | 2010-06-11 08:48:00 | Hmm the last post there is a good idea, but my idea is to do a clean install, to see if it works after I create the ISO. I've got winimage which can create VHD's. BUT that by the looks of it relies on something thats bootable (like an attached hdd). May have to kill XP mode in this case. So, I can reinstall Virtual PC. So, I can test ISO's |

| 1109070 | 2010-06-11 10:19:00 | Tried VMware Player to test your ISOs? | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 1109071 | 2010-06-11 10:31:00 | Not yet. Looks like you have to register for this. I've got enough passwords to remember :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1109073 | 2010-06-11 12:04:00 | Well virtual pc wont install in Windows 7, it blocked it from installing. Saying its not compatible. I uninstalled XP mode then tried, thats when it told me. So, atm, I'm installing XP mode again. I did install Virtual PC within XP mode, but it said you cant run a VM in a VM. So, how can you change the settings? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Yes it is possible to run Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 7. It is not supported by Microsoft but it does work It doesn't sound like you need to run Virtual PC 2007 though? If I was you I would run Windows Virtual PC, the latest version (the one you were using for "XP Mode") you can't run Virtualisation software inside more Virtualisaton software, a VM within another VM If you want to present/mount an ISO into a VM either Virtual PC or Windows Virtual PC can do this. When you create a VM, you just go into the VM settings, go to the DVD drive settings, click open an ISO image, and point to the ISO file you have |

| 1109075 | 2010-06-11 12:31:00 | Yes it is possible to run Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 7. It is not supported by Microsoft but it does work How do you unblock it so it'll install then?? Or is it because KB958559 (the virtual PC file for XP mode) was installed? Even tho, I had uninstalled XP mode. If I uninstall this KB virtual PC will install then? It doesn't sound like you need to run Virtual PC 2007 though? Well, I do, because you need VHD files for XP mode (which I dont have. I'm testing ISO's after I've slipstreamed the updates etc). If I was you I would run Windows Virtual PC, the latest version (the one you were using for "XP Mode" Thats probably why virtual PC was blocked (the above KB was installed)? I've got the virtual PC 2007 SP1 x64 install file you can't run Virtualisation software inside more Virtualisaton software, a VM within another VM I found that out :lol: If you want to present/mount an ISO into a VM either Virtual PC or Windows Virtual PC can do this. When you create a VM, you just go into the VM settings, go to the DVD drive settings, click open an ISO image, and point to the ISO file you have I know virtual PC works, because I was using it to test ISO's in Vista x64. I know whats on the ISO, BUT I want to boot from it, (do a clean install). But you cant boot from an ISO image within a VM, so it'll do a clean install can you? |
