Yes you need to install the OS in a VM. All VPC does is create a
virtual computer. You need the CD and a license to install the OS.
For info on installing OSes, see my TechRef PDF on my website.

You can stop it with CTRL-Z. (other ways?)
Be sure that you have a defined virtual hard disk.
If you are using an .iso file, "capture .iso image" and point to the .iso
file. or choose "use physical CD <device>" and insert disk. (click CD at top
of VM machine screen.)
Load your OS.
Release CD

Message:Yes. You do need the base CDs -- or .iso files which are image files of the
installation disks).
VPC 2007 only provides the mechanism to allow the other OS's to operate as
virtual machines. :-)
I am 4 days into it, myself. I would suggest you have some quality time
with google entering something like "creating a virtual pc using ms virtual
pc 2007" or similar.
Best of Luck!

What OS are you trying to install? Is it on a CD/DVD? If so have you
loaded it into the drive on the host?
