Windows Vista Beta - installation?
 
I'n running Virtual PC 2004 to install Vista Beta

I've got past the hard disk partitioning problem (no partition available)

Its now seemingly stuck on a screen saying "Completing Installation" "Do not restart the computer"

Its been on this screen for an hour now.

Any ideas ?

I had problems too i dont think it works properly on virtual PC yet, give it a while longer it may be thinking:)

cheers Mike

It finished doing its thang, and now works fine. Install the Virtual PC add-ons for the OS and everything worked as it should.

I wasn't impressed with it on a P4 2.4 with 1GB RAM, but I'm putting that down to it being a Beta ... hopefully.

Runs terribly on virtual PC. Very very slow. Not impressed, lets hope the real thing is better.

Ditto Alex

I'm running Virtual PC on my dev PC:
Athlon 2800
1GB DDR
Radeon 9800 Pro

Virtual PC will be seen by Vista as using a Trio 64 graphics card so offers none of the transparency or speed of the 3D accelerator cards required by Vista
