Virtual PC 2004 wouldn't boot!
I tried to fire up Virtual PC 2004 and it wouldn't boot! I tried several images, ranging from a fresh install of XP, a blank install with updates, a version with VS.Net Express Edition - but they all gave the same error:
NTLDR missing
I restored images which didn't work, at which point I was guessing there was something wrong with the configuration of VPC. I hadn't changed anything so was at a lost and turned to the web for answers.
Happily, I found this link very quickly. The problem is that VPC was trying to boot up off my USB pen drive/memory stick.
How impressive.
