Installing Windows 7 Beta in a Virtual Machine

Hi everybody.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried installing the Windows 7 32-bit beta into a Virtual Machine. I'm using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on a Windows Vista Business PC. For me, it seems to get about half way through copying the files before I get an error message that a file could not be read (or is corrupt). I have no problems with installing other Windows operating systems into a VM (inc Vista).

BTW - this is NOT for audio apps. I use VMs for testing my company's software.

Thanks
