Pardon. The software is Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. Host OS is windows 7.
By mounting I mean inserting the iso image into the virtual cd/dvd
device that VPC emulates. The dvd boots and the initial choice menu
displays, and I can type in some commands. The console installer always
runs, even if I want to run the graphical one. I can choose the language
and keyboard, but after choosing the data source to be the virtual cd
drive, I get the abovementioned error and the image is ejected from the
virtual drive. I could try the remote http/ftp download method, but
first I'm asking here to avoid downloading 5 gigs again.
