Requirements:

1) HP boot disk utility.

2) A folder containing MS DOS system files.

‘C:\USBDOS’ folder contains dos system files: command.com, io.sys, msdos.sys

Stop a Virtual PC image from synchronizing the date with the host OS

To stop the VPC image from synchronizing, add the following XML section to the .VMC file:

<integration>
  <microsoft>
   ….
   <components>
    <host_time_sync>
     <enabled type="boolean">false</enabled>
    </host_time_sync>
   </components>
   ….
  </microsoft>
</integration>
