Luis,

Which version of VCC are you using? I'm using VCC 1.42 so what I say applies to 
that version.

What do you see on the screen when you start up VCC? With the FD-502 
cartridge\configuration menu set to use RGBDOS, there are one of two things you 
should see depending on the contents of drive0 on the .vhd image.

1)
HARD DISK BASIC
BASED ON CODE IN RGBDOS
ORIGINAL (c) 1986, 1989
RGB COMPUTER SYSTEMS

OK

2) If there is on the .vhd drive0 the program AUTOEXEC.BAS, then you will see 
whatever that program is designed to do.

==================================
In the first case, the default mode is for drives 0-3 to be active on the .vhd 
image and the floppies OFF. The default drive will be drive0 on the .vhd image.

Based on what you reported, it looks as if you have not correctly mounted the 
.vhd image or it is corrupted. I'm assuming you downloaded the image from the 
VCC site.
