I'm switching to a new pc and want to keep the winxp-installation of my
previous pc intact, can I create a VHD from an existing pc installation
(winXP) ?

You could move it, but it won't be intact. A VM does not have the
same hardware as your physical system, so there will be changes to
your XP install. Acronis True Image has been reported to work for
this.

Hi Steve,

Do you mean taking a image with True Image and then loading that image into
Virtual PC 07 will work (reportedly)?

Thanks,

Liam
