I seem to remember getting this error as well.
Can't remember what I did to fix it though, or if I put an XP Pro disk in either.

Into drive A? You'd have a problem doing that

Post by **m4rkuz** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 12:38 pm

yes drive A: would be a problem looool...

I would have to cut the CD

You need to add the two little files from an XP CD, as this particular Longhorn ISO is usually incomplete when found online, for some reason (maybe it was released like this) - I think they're called something like WinNT51, there's two of them, I can't remember their names exactly but they're on the root of a normal XP CD.

thanks, they're already there just named wrongly
rename the two dat files in the disks root so that they don't have a file extension

*throws link through topic*
Booting 3683 shouldnt be a problem anymore

Post by **m4rkuz** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 2:21 pm

ok thank you guys, I will try it.

EDIT: ok runs....I will install it now in VPC^^

EDIT2: got this error:

hmm I thought the time would be right, I set it one week after the date from the files on CD.

Change the date to the one in the topic here.

Then use this tutorial to disable the host clock sync.

the orginal iso will have this problem because you will have to rename the identify files WIN51.DAT and WIN51IP.DAT to WIN51 and WIN51IP

and of course set the Date to September 24, 2002.

When running it in Virtual PC, you need to change the physical system time to make time changing work because every time a VPC VM reboots, it syncs to the physical time and in every BIOS change, the VM reboots.

Don't forget to change it back though. Some programs like my mum's banking software won't work until you set the time back.

Besides, putting a CD into a floppy drive isn't that hard, is it?

Would it now be easier to install vmware instead?

@mdogg

You don't have set the physical time back in VPC, but use this tutorial http://betaarchive.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2142
Just do it before you begin the boot the virtual machine and then when you first boot, press DEL to enter the BIOS and then set the time you want.

It works then!

@DjRob , dont work for me...

Post by **Rob Jansen** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:20 am

I have just downloaded build 3683 from sillyproject and tested it in virtual pc 2007.
And it works fine.
Maybe the iso you have has been corrupted.

Last time I checked, VPC didn't have a BIOS you could enter. You have to edit the VM's config file.

It does now, it works just as a real BIOS would.

Post by **Rob Jansen** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:34 am

Maybe m4rkuz set the BIOS date to 09/23/02 i can work.
But the build is compiled on 09/32/02 at 18:21 just must set the date 1 day forward.
Because he had it installed with the time before it was compiled

@ m4rkuz:
I can sent you the configuration file with a virtual harddisk (empty) for microsoft virtual pc 2007.
Via the e-mail (Private message doesn't allow or i don't know how to send a message with a attachment) to you.
PM me your e-mailadress and i will send it to you (I DON'T SPAM, its irritating me too).

@Empireum
You could enter the BIOS via the DEL key from VPC 2004.
I saw you used the MAC version, maybe that hasn't the feature that you could enter the BIOS from the booted VPC, that can explain it.

@DjRob/hounsell
Thanks, VPC/Mac doesn't seem to have that indeed. And I don't use VPC/Win either, so I don't know if it behaves differently. Sorry for my false assumption.
