    Create VHD of existing XP SP3 system for use in Windows 7

    Hello,



    Is there a way to create a VHD of my existing XP SP3 system for use with
    Windows XP Mode in Windows 7? I am looking to load 7 on my laptop, but would
    like to not have to reinstall all of my apps once I fire up XP Mode in 7.

    Thanks

    I ran into this, quite by accident, earlier today...

    No idea how it works, but the guys behind it aren't your run-of-the-mill goobs.

    Anyone here tried that yet?
