Save a copy of your working Virtual XP system  Shutdown the XP virtual machine and close Virtual PC.  Copy the configuration file and the disk file created by Virtual PC (it is located in the D: partition of your host machine) to the Data partition (should be E:) of your host machine; this is where we saved the Ghost image of Drive C: back in an earlier lab.  Now that we’ve changed the Windows 7 installation (installed Virtual PC), if you’d like, you could create another Ghost image of your C: drive to the Data partition. Follow the instructions from Lab 3 if needed. If you don’t do this and you have a problem with your Windows 7 installation, you can restore from the older Ghost image and reinstall Virtual PC. You would not need to reinstall XP as we have made a copy of the virtual configuration. You now have a backup of your working system if anything happens to your C partition!! Page 4 of 4
