Disk2VHD image vs a new XP mode virtual pc
Hi all,
I am trying to resolve a strange virtual pc issue.
I made an image of an xp system using DISK2VHD. I then loaded windows 7 pro onto the same box, using a new hard drive. Loaded windows virtual pc and ran the VHD I had created of the xp system.
Well it works but for a couple of strange things. It won't go full screen, the mouse won't move in or out of the virtual window, and cut and paste does not work.
So I got virtual pc to create a new xp mode pc, which it did, and everything works fine.
So is there a way I can make the DISK2VHD image work the same as a freshly created VHD session.
Thanks.

Did you install the vpc additions? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824561

This looks like it's for VPC 2007. The Virtual PC that comes with Windows 7 pro doesn't appear to support additions...or I'm missing it...as none of the options to install it are there...
