Create a clean environment with Microsoft Virtual PC

At this point you can start your virtual machine by clicking on it. If you have the proper media in your CD Rom drive you will be able to complete your installation just like on a normal system. One thing to watch out for though, if you use your mouse in the Virtual PC Window you must press the right ALT key to return mouse control to your main system. Once you have the virtual machine additions installed on your virtual machine you will no longer need to do this.
