Has anyone successfully installed > debian AMD64 on a Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007? That is probably a question that should be asked to Microsoft. However, does Virtual PC virtualize the host CPU? Is your host OS 64-bit? If your host OS is not 64-bit, then there is probably not an easy way to virtualize the CPU in such a way that you can use a 64-bit OS on it. In that case, you probably want to use QEMU, which will emulate the CPU entirely. Performance is not as good, but it allows you to run a 64-bit guest on a 32-bit host. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
