MS Virtual PC 2004

Hey there.

i installed Virtual PC yesterday; the 45 day trial.

I have a 60 gb hdd which is partioned into 3 drives:

c: -9.31 gb ntfs

d: -9.31 gb ntfs

e: -38.60 gb fat32

When i installed 2003 server via virtual pc it asked if it could use 16 gb of 'unallocated' space...so i allowed that.

what i was wondering is where did that space come from??

[XtremeMaC]

it creates a virtual partition

if its 16gb its most likely that u've selected the virtual drive to be on your e drive

u should see a file (I forgot the extension .vmx .vmd something.. for vmware...) and that file u'll see is either an expendable file which means its going to get larger as long as u put additional stuff into virtual pc or u might have allowed vpc to allocate the full space. in that case u should see a file that's 16gb. which I'd consider is not the best idea. bc I doubt u're going to use 16gb on a test machine.....

btw 16gb is the max it goes change it to 2gb or 4gb according to your needs...

It just means that as you add stuff to the Virtual PC, you will have 16GB total! You must have a dynamic drive that expands as you use up more disk space in Virtual PC...
