Hi and thanx for your post! That was a good one to be the first one! Maybe that explains some of our problems related to some clients. They also just stops for no clear reason, running Sonnet and 8.6. You are talking about the processorupgrade, right!? Loads of thanx for your input! :-) / jakob

I think this was just discussed but when I clicked the link for the archives it just gave me a list and no way to search. Here's the short of it. Restored drive, now virtual PC says it wasn't properly installed... Is there a "proper" way to restore it? or am I stuck? Garret -

I would suspect a subtle hardware timing issue. The 6100's have the slowest bus speeds of the PowerPC models, and OS9 was really designed for the G3's and up. Retrospect pushes the limits in tcp/ip mode in order to achieve the best backup speed. I would reeccomend backing up using Appletalk si

sometimes you can re-choose the C: drive from within Virtual PC and it will use the drive. If that doesn't work, reinstall Virtual PC then use your old C: drive file so you won't lose all of your settings in windoze. I can't remember exactly how Virtual PC does it. In SoftWindows there was a way

You can try to reinstall Virtual PC and then hold down "option" while you launch it. This brings up the pref window and you can select what C drive image you want to use. This also comes in handy if you have more than one drive image. Give it a whirl. Brian --- Original Message --- Tim David <[

I read all the other replies, but I am very familiar with this problem. In your: System Folder-> Preferences-> There is a folder called "Virtual PC 3.0 Preferences" That folder must be there. Along with the 3 sub-folders. The easy thing to do is restore your old System Folder to another
