SUMMARY
This article discusses the contents of the second CD disc that is included with some versions of Virtual PC.



MORE INFORMATION
Virtual PC includes a second CD disc that has the Virtual PC Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP products.

This CD contains all the Windows driver and .cab files that are required if additional Windows components are added by using Windows Setup in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. The second CD is required because the drive images for Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP are too large to include on a single CD.

It is not likely that you will have to use this CD because all the standard components for each Windows operating system have been configured in the virtual machine hard disk image that is included on the first Virtual PC CD.

Versions of Virtual PC with Windows 98 and Virtual PC with PC-DOS do not have a second disk.
