Windows Forum / Virtual PC / May 2008Vista guest - DVD access is slow under XP host
It seems DVD access is extremely under Vista 32 guest running under XP 32 host. Vista itself seems to run fine but installation of Office 2007 from DVD takes FOREVER. I use VPC 2007. VPC additions are installed (I used additions that come with VPC 2007) Any ideas? Maybe I need to use different VPC additions? >It seems DVD access is extremely under Vista 32 guest running under XP >32 host.

You would be way better off by first creating an ISO image of the install DVD and then capturing that ISO file with the guest optical drive (you can drag-drop the ISO file to the CD icon in the bottom of the guest window). Then the guest will have a MUCH better reading speed! You can use WinImage (shareware) to make the ISO file.

Oh, and it is Vista SP1 >> It seems DVD access is extremely under Vista 32 guest running under XP >> 32 host.

THis was recently released to support new service packs on both Windows hosts and guests. Bo Berglund And afterwards be sure to update the virtual machine additions in the guest. >>> It seems DVD access is extremely under Vista 32 guest running under XP >>> 32 host.
