February 22, 201016 yr I have problems booting from .iso on Virtual PC for Windows 7.I want to test a custom .iso i have made using vLite.I have set up an virtual machine but I cant get it to boot from the .iso I have selected by doing:Tools -> Settings -> DVD drive -> Open an ISO image, and there I select a .iso directory. Then I do: Action -> Restart, and nothing happens the program just reboots and isnt booting from the iso.How can I test an custom windows7.iso on windows7 os?
February 22, 201016 yr Author Sometimes you need to delete and remake yourself another virtual driveAnd how do I do that?
February 22, 201016 yr Delete the virtual hd (*.vhd) and virtual manchine (*.vmc) in this folder then re-run the wizard to make a new one"%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines"
February 22, 201016 yr There's a Boot Order in the VM's "bios". Reboot ("start") selected VM, press "Del" key, change it (just like a "real PC"). Now, load the "ISO image", select "Save BIOS Settings" and continue.In any case, you must press "Del" and "Capture" the ISO or Floppy before continuing to boot otherwise... (at least using VPC2K7 installed on XP/2K3) Edited February 22, 201016 yr by submix8c
February 23, 201016 yr are you sure your iso is bootable. if not, then it will do that.Same thoughts here
