Can I load Fedore 10 into Microsoft Virtual PC 200(MVP)7? I tried to load the live cd into it and it doesn't work. What should I do to make it work in MVP??? Detailed help would be appreciated. Thanks.

MVPC does not support Linux. However, it's still possible to install/run it, but it will result some incompatibility with mouse which won't be able to move in Virtual PC.

If you want to run Linux, you can install Sun xVM VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) which supports Linux.

VMware Workstation will run Linux. 30 day evaluation version.

Does MVPC need a Windows ISO to run with?? If yes, how do i go about creating an ISO for MVPC?

Yes, it needs. You need Windows OS setup CD and ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/) which will create ISO. When it's created, you just need to mount it thru MVPC and that should be it.
