Boot Floppy Images
Installing and configuring Windows is usually a tedious and
frustrating process. I've tried to make it easy by including various
Windows boot floppy images in Macintosh DiskCopy format. You can
simply drag these onto the Virtual PC "eject floppy" button, and
Virtual PC will use (and boot from) them.

Additions
Also required, for maximum performance, are the Virtual PC "Additions"
that provide full functionality of networking, drag and drop file
sharing, faster video, etc. These are not required if you are using
the pre-installed copy of Windows that came with your copy of Virtual
PC.
