If you have the version VPC that does not come with an OS, there is no boot disk obviously, but if you did, you should have one in the extras folder.
If you don't hace one, goto bootdisk.com and download a bootdisk image for dos or something, stuff it in the VPC image mounter, and restart the computer.
