Default [Resolved] How to install XP using Virtual PC

Can anyone tell me how to install Windows XP using Virtual PC - I want to run vista and xp but I don't want to dual boot it. I have the XP installation cd but I have no idea how to install it, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nevermind, I figured it out. Well if anyone else is wondering, just treat the virtual PC like a normal computer and press any key while it's booting to choose "Boot From Disk" - which it might not even say on the screen when it's booting up whatever interface it uses.

Glad you figured it out! Yep, and you also should make sure to format the virtual disk.

*Marked as Resolved*

Thanks,
