Not with SP2, but pre-SP2, yes.

It's possible. There's a lot of discussion out on the web on this
particular type of problem, but nothing I saw that related to VPC
particularly.

From: abi on
Hi Robert,
I found a solution. It seems that the ris bootdisk has a problem with DHCP
options 66 and 67 (sounds like http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=259670).
This options are needed when ris is not running on the same server where dhcp
is running. When both services are running on the same server and options 66,
67 are not used its possible to install windows xp sp1 and sp2 in my virtual
pc. So it is not a problem of virtual pc. It is a problem caused by the ris
bootdisk.

Thanks for your help
