Okay... I seem to be having an odd problem getting NT 4.0 installed inside Virtual PC from Connectix. It says it's supported, yet for some reason when it tried to load boot/setup disk 3, it doesn't see it??
Oddly enough, I had the exact same problem with VMware.
I've also made a new disk 3, and it doesn't help. So it doesn't seem to be due to a bad floppy.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?? and if so, how can I fix it and get NT 4 installed??

Well I solved the problem. For some reason disk 3 will not load from the floppy. but I decided to make disk images of all the install diskettes using WinImage. And disk 3 does load from the disk image! So it works. :)
