Hi WAMUGgers

I'm trying to install Win XP Pro into Virtual PC 7.0.1 on my PowerBook G4 1.67 with 1GHz RAM and 100Gb HDD running OS X 10.4.5. It has sat on Installing Windows/Installing Devices for 10 hours now, with the message "Setup will complete in approximately: 33 minutes."

I've tried Shutting Down the PC (in PC Menu), saving the partly installed PC image state. VPC recognises this as a partially installed state, reloads and resumes "installing". ie the green flashing installation dots continue moving, but it stays at 33 minutes.

How long is a minute in Windows?

What am I doing wrong?

Should I delete the image and start again?

The VPC 7 disk is one supplied through the WA DET Microsoft Enterprise Agreement and WinXP comes from the school's Microsoft Technology in Schools CD Kit 2002.

Many thanks
