Vista - Backtrack4 and Virtual PC

I am trying to run Backtrack4 with windows virtual pc but it is failing to
load. THe problem seems to be the video for some reason yet I can run
backtrack4 just fine under vBox (sun). Any suggestions would be great or if
anyone had the same problem and found a solution. BTW my pc is a spanking new
HP AMD phenom quad core with 8gig ram, ati radeon 9870 video card and im
running windows vista/7 64bit.

Okay -

I grabbed BackTrack 4 Pre Release and got it working by:

Boot, select "Start BackTrack FrameBuffer (1024x768)" and type "e"
Select the "kernel" line and type "e"
Type in " i8042.noloop" at the end of the line and hit enter
Type "b" to boot

(all of this is needed to get the mouse to work)

Now, once you get to the prompt - type in:
"fixvesa" and hit enter
"startx" and hit enter

Now you will be up and running

Cheers,
