Default Virtual PC 2007 SP1

I was going to try new Windows 7 beta, but since I didn't want to risk doing it on my PC, I tried to install it on a virtual machine. I've found Virtual PC 2007 and an article + video how to install it.

However, every time I set up a virtual PC, make a virtual hard drive and start it, after 5 seconds a message appears:

"Non-System disk or disk error
Replace and press any key when ready
_"

And that's it. Mounting .iso of Windows 7 beta does nothing, I can't mount anything else and I'm stuck. Anyone knows a solution to that problem?

Another vote here for VirtualBox. It's awesome.

If it's better, I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the tip.
