Re: Virtual PC Installing Windows 2003 R2

That usually means it's having trouble reading the CD/DVD, can you try

If you have the .iso file for it, just attach that directly, rather
than using a CD/DVD, it'll work much faster and more reliably.

You don't say what your host is, but if it's Vista and you have UAC
active, you can try launching VPC as administrator, some CD's/DVD's
require that. (it's a driver issue)

Not sure what it might be then, I've only hit that problem with a bad
CD/DVD image.
