This site seems has some useful help for installing Fedora Core 4 on VirtualPC:

However this suggests one CD, my install is on 2 cd's, and the first attempt resulted in VirtualPC not recognising the 2nd CD, this may have been down to not 'releasing' the CD drive despite removing the first CD and inserting the second. I am in good company on this issue as this link shows:

I do have Fedora on a DVD but the VirtualPC point blank refused to recognise the DVD until after the first CD. The install 'appeared' to have installed suucessfully sourcing the remaining files from the DVD, the fedora install even went as far as informing 'install completed - you can now reboot'. No dice after this though....

The following link says it all:

The following suggests VPC SP1 causes issues:(I'm using SP1.....)
