You really don't need to make partitions for VMs, they're simply files on the drive. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |

I assume that you would start Excel on that PC and then open the spreadsheet file using Excel?? VPC is no different. VMC and VHD files are just "document" files for the *application* VirtualPC 2007 and VPC2007 is used to "open" these. Bottom line: If you have VPC2007SP1 installed on the "other" laptop then just doubleclick the VMC file and it will start. If you don't have VPC2007 instaled then install it and then do as above.
