In Virtual PC 2007 can we boot the vm from USB. IS that supported.

I've seen many presenters, including many from MS do this.  Should not be a problem.  Just point to the USB drive for the VM hard drives.

Wait, do you mean store the VHD hard drives on a USB disk and access them through the Virtual Machine that way...


Or do you mean, physically attach a USB flash drive or CD ROM to the system and tell the virtual computer to use it to boot?

I can tell you this - Virtual PC does not directly support USB devices.  A USB CD-ROM would have to be seen as a CD-ROM by the host Operating System and then you can "capture" that in the virtual machine.

I am talking about USB pen drives.
Yes th pen drive is visible to me on my windows explorer and is even booting from  but is it possible from a VM PC.?
I cannot see any boot option for the VM to boot from USB.

No, Virtual PC is not going to be able to do that.  VMWare can, but Virtual PC has no direct support for USB drives as I said before.
