I have a virtual hard disk file (VHD) created using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. Can this file be copied to a host running Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 and be used as the basis for creating a new virtual machine? Essentially, are the VHD file formats between the two products compatible, or do I need to create a new VHD from scratch? Thanks.
