| | P2V Windows XP to Vista Business Hi , I have configured my new Vista Business Machine and its working perfectly. I still need to have access to my old Win XP box so I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. What I want to know its if there is a program that will convert my WinXP box and play it as a VM on the Vista with Virtual PC installed. Platespin Power Converter seams to be the program that can but but too expensive. VMware do a P2V converter but you can only run the converted pc on VMware environment not Microsoft. Anyone know a program that would do the job and that is not Microsoft System Centre Virtual Machine Manager as this requires full server setup first. Many thanks, Lion |
