Virtual PC Installation

Post by Randy »

MS Virtual PC 7 installation keeps coming up with the error "unrecoverable processor error has been encountered". Are you able to install on the Virtual? It's just like a "new" machine. I allow 640mb of memory and all the VHD space it wants, but keeps coming up with errors. Would really like to try out this software before installing for real. Thanks for any help.

I recommend you use VirtualBox as your virtualizer instead of VirtualPC. VirtualBox is far more friendlier to Linux distributions. Visit their website @ www.virtualbox.org

HTH and good luck!
