I'm running Virtual PC 2007 and I'm trying to install MS-DOS from an .exe file. Does anyone have an idea about how to approach this? Would I have to put the .exe on a CD?

Turns out Windows 3.11 runs great under Windows 7, shocking...
Seriously though, I've been running old DOS games from when I was a kid that haven't worked for years, so it's a nice trip down memory lane. Good ol' Quake...
