I am trying to install XP Pro again on a new virtual machine. I get to the
setup part of installing the OS and it just keeps telling me "setup could not
read the CD" I have pressed Enter again and again without luck. Please
advise.

Could it be that the XP CD is dirty...?

As Mark says, wipe the disk with a soft cloth. Consider making an .iso copy
and using that. It is faster anyway.

It did finally take, but it didn't end up making any difference. My old
software will still not run on the VPC. :-(

You can try to make a CD image from the CD,using some tools like
WinISO or WinImage,and then mournt it to the Virtual PC.It is heard
that Virtual PC works more smoothly with images(than real Disc).
