    I am getting an intel Mac soon and plan on running Parallels.

    I have Virtual PC with Windows 2000 included on the VPC CD- is it possible to install Parallels and then install just Win2K from the VPC disk to be able to run Win2K under Parallels?

    Thank you for your help!

    I don't think so. The way micrsoft set up VPC was to allow the running of a virtual system on PPC Mac, and not to allow any piracy (making it tougher to get required files). That said, if your disk contains a BOOTABLE copy of Windows 2000 you can copy those files to a new CD and use it, so long as your license allows. Your disc probably doesn't contain a bootable version of Windows 2000 though..
