Re-installing VPC 7 upgrade version

Dear members:

I am re-installing all my different applications after installing a new
larger internal hard disk.

The only problem I am having so far is how to best approach the
re-installation of Virtual PC. I remember that when I upgraded from version
6 to version 7 the upgrade was everything but simple.

I own a full copy of Virtual PC version 6.0 that includes Windows XP Pro and
Virtual PC version 7.0 upgrade without any operating system.

How can I install Virtual PC in the simplest possible manner ? In case the
information is helpful I am running a Powermac G5 dual 2.0 GHz 2.5 GB RAM.
My understanding is that the G5 processor doesn't support VPC 6. In this
case how can I install version 7 if I only have it in the upgrade package ?
Also, how can I install Windows XP contained in the disks for VPC 6 on my
installation of VPC 7 ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Joseph Chamberlain.

Most of your Windows apps will need to be reinstalled in your new
Windows for them to work correctly.

Generally, most user data is stored in your "My Documents" directory,
but some apps will keep it in other directories.

A fairly easy way to copy data from your old to new is to mount the
old Virtual hard drive (VHD) to the Mac desktop and drag and drop the
data files into your new Windows.

Thank you for your response to my post.

I am in the process of installing VPC 7 on my new drive.

After I install VPC what should I do to transfer applications and files that
were previously installed in the other drive ? Is there a folder such as
"user data" or something similar that I can simply transfer and it will
carry all of my information ?

What is the best way to handle this situation ?

As always, any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Joseph
