Copying VHD to a different Host machine leads to OLD VM view

Hi All.

i am using MS Virtual PC and have a VM on [ Machine-A with Windows 2003
Enterprise edition].

Now i have copied the VHD and VMC Files on [Machine-B with Windows 2003
Standard edition].

i have pointed MS Virtual PC to this VMC file. it does load the VM BUT it
shows ONE Month Old state of VM. i have also tried creating new VMC and
pointing it to this VHD but same happens again.. I have also tried Deleting
the VHD File and Copying it again to recheck to correct file but no output.

It is interesting to note that the VHD was Copied after properly shutting
down the VM BUT still it is showing vewry old VM state with no new files as
actually are produced on SOurce VHD.

i have also tried re-logging the machine-B with machine-administrator
account to check but there is no clue.

Please suggest.

Could you have undo disks enabled and not applied changes before
copying?
