Re: Do we actually need XP support?

[Paul Lagasse pglagasse@xxxxxxxx]

Jordan, I'm not an expert on this, but I don't think this will work
smoothly, if I understand you correctly. While it is straightforward to
convert an existing XP install disk to an ISO that can be used to
install XP in a VM, trying to copy an existing XP installation to an ISO
and use that installation in a virtual machine is bound to lead to at
least some troubleshooting concerning networking and other hardware
conflicts, and will no doubt result in a demand for recertification from
XP. You might be better off installing XP to a VM and rebuilding
installation as a VM. The ISOs for the various service packs should be
readily available on the internet.

Bill,
I'm wondering if you have come across any insight into how those ISOs
were made ? As I mentioned previously, and for purposes wholly
unrelated to Xy, I still have an interest in possibly turning my
existing XP boot partition into just such a VMWare-ready, Guest VM ISO.

   Add to that, convenient ISOs are available (I will be providing
  links) so
  no worries about messy CD media.

  Above all, it's known that it works, period, with XyWrite, and that
  counts for a lot.
