VPC(VirtualPC) for MacからOSを抜き出す

はっきり言って、俺が今まで使ってきたソフトウェアの中で一番糞(あえて間接的な言い方はしないが)だったソフトが、このVPC for Mac。マジで使えない。
そんなVirtual PCを今回、「あー、あってよかったなぁー。」ってものにしてみる。
Virtual PCからOSを取り出すの。そしてインストールCDを作ってみるんだ。

参考となるのは以下の英文。
macosxhints.com - Use Windows XP from Virtual PC with Boot Camp

If you've upgraded to an Intel Mac, and you're wondering how to get value out of the Windows XP license you purchased with your now-obsolete copy of VirtualPC, here's how: You can convert your version of XP into a bootable XP CD-ROM with integrated Service Pack 2 to meet Bootcamp's requirements. You'll need to do this on a Windows PC (it may work in Parallels Workstation, but I'm not sure).

First, download Windows XP Service pack 2 from Microsoft's website. Then follow the instruction on this website to create the bootable CD. The "i386" folder that the instructions refer to are on the second VirtualPC CD. Just copy that folder to the location indicated in the instructions. Be sure to follow the instructions for "slipstreaming" Service Pack 2.

When finished, you'll have a bootable XP installation CD that will work with the license code provided with Virtual PC.

どっかの記事にあったなぁ。
parallels desktopはbootcamp用のインストールCDと別個にもう一つインストールCDを必要とするとか・・・。
アメリカAppleのフォーラムでも「インテルMacにVPCから抽出したXPをインストールしたい」ってスレッドが多く立ってる。そりゃ、多いだろうな。こんなソフトにはXPが入っているのに、このソフト、インテルMacでは使えないんだから。

More help to Windows challenged

Thanks for this. it was a great help. Thanks to af_weeks for his extra hints. I thought I'd add some more hints to those of us who are windows challanged to get this done.

1) make sure the PC you use to create this disk has a recordable cd driver. It's difficult for us windows challenged to create a bootable cd from an iso file. Let this program do it's job automatically. if you don't have access to a PC w/recordable cd drive, go to an internet cafe that has one.

2) Create a new folder at the main hard drive level, this could be c: or could be named d: Bart uses d: in all instructions, so if your PC's hard drive is c: you have to change all of Bart's d:'s to c:'s

Skip steps 4,5,&6 of Barts instructions. Virtual PC 7 does have the service pack 2 installed so you can skip the instructions for installing that.

af_weeks advice on creating your own file win51ip.sp2 is great, but remember to name it win51ip.sp2 . If you use wordpad to create it - save it as a text file, then after it's saved, remove the extra .txt part - ie wordpad will name it win51ip.sp2.txt - change the name to win51ip.sp2 (again this file is blank - just a space holder.)

To get to the command level, go to the lower left hand side of the screen on the PC click start and select RUN then type in "CMD" this will bring up the Command level that you can put in the step 8. you must change directories to the bcd file you created. To Change Directories (cd) just type "CD .." to back up one level you can continue this until you reach the root (maybe c: or d:) then you can type "cd bcd" to go down to your file - or simply just type "cd c:" +backslash (- can be created by holding down the ALT key while typing 9 then 2 then release the ALT key) +"bcd" (note: for some reason I can't type backslash here in the post section - cd:/bcd but use a backslash instead of forward slash.

Whew. this is how it worked for me. good luck to everyone else

この手順でやっていくと難なく、VPCからOSを取り出し、winXPのインストールCDを作成することができた。引用サイトの方々に感謝。

さて、BootCD作ってみたものの、あまり使い道がない・・・。
