Is there any free software that will allow testing of a newly-created unattended cd?

You can download MS VirtualPC 2004 45 day trial from here

or a 30 day trial of VMWare Workstation v4 from here

Thanks

For future reference, VirtualPC doesn't work with XP Home Edition, as I have just discovered.

Edit: And VMware will only let you download a trial version if you consent to the distribution of your personal information to marketers

This sucks. Oh well, had to lie.

No! There's a direct download link for it, posted by prathampl somewhere on this forum.

There is a FREE virtual OS application called FreeOSZoo - http://www.freeoszoo.org/index.php

Haven't tried it but colleagues reckon it is slower than VMWare - but hey! it is free!
