VPC 2004 SP1 - Hangs or Get "An error has occurred"
in [Virtual PC]

From: Colin Barnhorst on 20 Jul 2006 14:43 If the internal drives are IDE then you probably didn't benefit by the move. The ideal situation would be to have the files on a separate spindle on a separate controller from the system.

From: ohaya on 23 Jul 2006 21:29 Colin, I just moved the guests in question to a 2nd IDE drive, and I am seeing exactly the same problem. This 2nd drive is on the 2nd IDE port on my motherboard because I don't have a 2nd IDE controller available. So now, so far, I have increased physical memory and added a 2nd drive for the guests, and am still having this problem. BTW, am I the only one who is seeing this behavior? Or is this occurring for others at all?

Bob, A couple of questions: 1) Are you suggesting putting this in the boot.ini for the 'real' PC, or in the boot.ini for the guest hosts, or for BOTH? 2) From what I've been able to find, this parameter is only for Windows XP SP2 and Win2K3? Is it applicable to Win2K Server SP4 also?
