How to set path of Virtual PC hard disk differencing parent
- by Barry Kelly
I have an old Windows XP Mode vhd backed up from my previous system, but I'm having difficulty getting it running on the new system.
The vhd is a differencing disk, and its parent is the standard Windows XP Mode base; I still have the old parent, and have verified it is binary identical to the XP Mode base in my new installation of XP Mode.
But in the new system, the path to the differencing disk parent is different than the old.
When I open up the settings for the .vmcx for my old XP mode, and select "Hard Disk 1", the "Virtual hard disk file" is set correctly, but the "Parent Disk:" field is pointing at the wrong path, and I can't see any way to edit it.
Does anyone know how?
