My question. Is there anway that this VPC can be somehow made to read my copy of XP, and its programs, that is in another partition on another drive?

527289 2007-02-23 03:07:00 Yes, it can. Start the wizard, choose a plate to store it and click Next. Select the option that says "Linked to a hard disk (Advanced)". pcuser42 (130)
527290 2007-02-23 03:45:00 Note that doing this warned against. Due to the fact that it is a program you are giving direct access to your disk, and it cant be guaranteed XP will even boot under the virtual pc due to driver requirements etc Dannz (1668)
