Get Vmware or Parallels. Virtual Pc sucks.

alternatively save yourself the money and at the prompt "boot:" type "bt i8042.noloop" and press enter and it will allow you to use the mouse,

This is a known kernel issue in the newer kernels and from what i have read Both VMWare and VirtualPC emulate a PS/2 style mouse that are not getting found by the kernel.

you can read more about it on this tutorial that tells you how to get it working in ubuntu ( and permanently fix the problem on a HD Install)
