If you have a working disk image then you need to attach it to the VM. Otherwise you need to attach an install CD ISO and install a guest OS.

you can add that image at the Harddisk controll Tab
Only add there a CD Drive and then you can select the ISO as CD
At the start of the VM the CD image (if Bootable) will be chosen

Your sources of operating system and application software are the same for your virtual PC as they are for your physical PC. Linux OS ISOs are freely downloadable, and there's the time limited evaluations as in the Win2K8 download you found. If you have spare (unused) Windows licenses kicking around then these may also be used, and of course you can buy them too.
