Jennifer, you can convert Virtual PC (VHD) to VMWare Workstation using WinImage. Full instruction can be found here: http://www.ntpro.nl/blog/archi.....-VMDK.html

I just went to install the Eval version but thought id better check something. The installation says all data on ur hard driveS will be erased during installation . if im installing on a clean partition it would touch any files on any other drives will it?? (it says DRIVES not DRIVE, that’s what worries me)

I got a question i have just tried installing windows home server, but when it reboots the first time, goes to the light blue screen to copy more files to the computer, After 99% I get a blue screen of death and installation ends off course. I think i has something to do with my sata harddisk. I did load the drivers but apparently i does not work as it should. Could one o f you guys tell if for example updating the bios could cure this probleem? the sata harddisk is pretty new and i have k7n2 motherboard by msi.

many thanks in advance

If only it was so easy. I tried to install an evaluation copy four times on a clean machine, and got nothing but install errors and crashes. At least I didn’t pay for this! Definately get an evaluation copy for free from Microsoft website instead of buying from a retail store.

By way of correction, you can convert MS virtual machines to VMware’s formats by using VMware Converter. It is free and works great.

Jennifer – There is no way to convert it. But I have installed it on VM Ware. Works fine. Install will take long as it is running on VM ware..

Hello! Thanks for the tutorial. I had it working with Microsoft virtual PC 2007 and worked okay (although it took 4 hours to install). However, it would not install on vmware workstation 6. Did anyone have luck? Is there a way to convert a virtual pc 2007 image to vmware? I used my 2ghz dual core Toshiba’s satellite with windows vista premium. 2 gb’s (at least) hard space). I made sure there was at least 600 MB’s Ram and 80 GB of free space.
