Can you describe exactly *how* you are attempting to install Vista on
your virtual machine inside VPC2007?

If you just insert the DVD into the main (physical) PC drive then of
course your *main* PC will use it....

It is very much better to create an ISO image of the DVD before trying
to install Vista on the virtual machine. Then you do not need the DVD
in your drive and your main system will never have a problem caused by
reading the install disk.

If you do not have a suitable program to use for creating the ISO file
I can recommend WinImage (www.winimage.com).

With WinImage:
- start the program and click until you are in the main window
- Insert the DVD in the drive (cancel any autoplay that may start)
- Use the WinImage menu item Disk/Create CD-ROM ISO Image
- Use the Browse button to navigate to the folder for the iso file and
give it a suitable name (like vista.iso)
- Then click OK and wait until WinImage is ready
- Remove the DVD from the drive!

Now you are ready to start installing Vista in your virtual machine.
- Start the virtual machune from the VPC2007 console
- Now on the menu of the window that appears use the function
CD/Capture ISO Image
- Navigate to the file created above and select it and click Open
- Now use menu item Action/Reset
- Now the virtual machine will reboot from the ISO image of the
Vista DVD and start the install process.

thing. There is no need for a hassle like that. You just need to create the
machine, then click on it, make it sure it is the active window and then
insert the CD into your drive and install the OS. It is a simple thing and
no need to complicate it with making as ISO image first. Probably, dardanus
did not make the virtual machine window the ACTIVE window.

I installed Vista Ultimate on XP Pro host with no problems and no need to
make a ISO image. I cannot make a DVD ISO image anyhow. I only have a CDROM
drive that writes. I can't even make a backup of my Vista DVDs. The only
time I have ever needed DVD write capability was for this Vista DVD so I
don't think I went wrong in not getting anything more than a DVD reader
although my next computer will have DVD write capability.

So you simply cancel autorun / autoplay and then capture the DVD in the
guest...
Why? If the DVD is in good condition, it makes not the slightest
difference...
Why would it...? In all the years I've been using VPC, I've never had one
single problem with a guest reading a DVD...

It isn't.
Me neither.
Agreed.
Doubtless.

>Why? If the DVD is in good condition, it makes not the slightestInstalling an OS from an ISO is a LOT faster and more convenient in
VPC/VS...
There is an issue with Vista as the host where VPC has to be run
elevated to read some DVD's or copy protected CD's, but other than
that, I haven't had any problems either.

I can't agree with that. Put the media in the optical drive, capture it in
the host, and off we go - what's inconvenient about that...?

Definitely, over twice as fast here.
Nothing, but if you have a bunch of existing ISO's, it's just as easy
to attach them to a VM and you don't have to get out the DVD.

It depends on how many VMs you're installing, where your computers are
(remote servers, etc) there are a lot of good reasons to do it.

I don't install on DVD or CD ever, too slow and too much hassle
fussing with the optical media. Just drag and drop the ISO onto the
CD icon and away you go.

An ISO is an image file, you don't need a dvd burner. You create an
ISO image to your hard drive
