MS Virtual PC

I am trying to set up Linux using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and have a question about the installation process.

I just want to make sure that when I reach the portion of the install to choose a boot Loader for the linux install that this will not modify any of my boot settings under my main OS (Windows XP).
In other words, after the installation is complete on the virtual PC, I dont want grub or Lilo to be my bootloader.

Thanks,
Shaticus

That's the beauty of VPC. There will no changes to your XP setup. Those settings will only come into play when you start VPC and load that OS.
