Q:

Error trying to install guest operating system on virtual pc

I'm on Windows 7 and am trying to install another instance of Windows 7 into a virtual PC virtual machine.
The instructions say to put the Windows 7 install disc in the DVD drive and then startup the virtual machine.  The virtual machine is then to see the bootable media and start the installation process.
Here's what I get:

Any ideas?

Virtual PC doesn't do 64 bit guests. VPC Release Notes
You can use VMWare Player , vmware workstation, Virtualbox, or either of the newer MS Virtualisation apps (APP-V, HyperV).
Vmware did have an ISO image (vt.iso) that you could mount in a Virtual machine, and it'd tell you if your virtualisation platform, and your host, supported 64bit and had the Intel virtualisation technology installed, but I can't find a link for it.
Hope that helps.
