Hi, i'm not promising this will work as i'm new to this myself but i alkso experienced this problem.

It turned out that i had missed a line out of the ini file.

Try adding the following "getkey" (without the quotations) between the XP_Pro_key: and if $lastkey == key[1] lines.

It should look something like this

XP_Pro_Key:

getkey

if $lastKey == key[1]; then chain /PRO1.DAT

end

then try creating the iso again and booting in virtual pc and see if that works.

Like i said i'm also new but hey if i can help i'll try
