Sunday Frolic: Ubuntu 7.10 on Virtual PC 2007

By Nick Hodge | October 21, 2007

Unix is not meant to be easy I suppose.

This post from Mike on Virtually Vista is a great help.

For those on Toshiba M400 beasties, I've found that the Toshiba RAID driver 1.9.15.0 in combination with the BIOS 3.40 make QuickTime, iTunes and Virtual PC 2007 work well. Other HDD drivers installed after 1.9.15.0 do weird, unexplainable and unprintable things.
