The problem is that MS Virtual PC 2007 does not include support for a 64-bit guest OS: "This release of Virtual PC 2007 supports 64-bit host operating systems. However, there is no support for 64-bit guest operating systems." <http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/4/c/44ccd131-67fb-422 4-a96e-193be1765b43/relnotes.htm> QEMU on the other hand does support x86-64 as a guest (and ARM, SPARC, PPC, MIPS...) and is Free Software, so I would suggest using that rather than the MS product.
