I installed Virtual PC 2007 on the Vista operating system, and then when he was invited by Virtual PC, I inserted my XP Home UPGRADE disk. An error message says it's a disc invalid or not a valid Microsoft disks. All solutions?

I'm running Vista Ultimate, but my scanner is not working properly.  I was told to download Virtual PC 2007 and run the scanner using my old opeatring XP system.  I downloaded Virtual PC and it my new system in place, but when I went to install XP using my disk upgrade Xp Home edition, an error message indicates that the disk was not valid.

You cannot use a disk/license update of XP in a Virtual Machine.

You need a Full Disk/license XP that isn't a Licence(pre-installed by the Computer Manufacturer) OEM from another computer.

See you soon.
