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?
Hi Reg
I dont think you've done anything particularly wrong.
Based on what you have said I would probably begin again.
It may also pay to check if there could be any issues between VPC
7.0.1 and OSX 10.4.5.
Hi Reg,
Seems you may need to update VPC to 7.0.2 for using in OSX10.4.5
Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac Version 7.0.2 Update
This update is recommended for all users who are using Virtual PC for
Mac Version 7.0 or 7.0.1. This update improves overall stability of
Virtual PC and allows Virtual PC to run on Mac OS X Version 10.4.1 or
later.
