XP Mode from previous build will not run on rebuilt PC.
Hi,
I have an XP Mode PC running on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit PC all the time as it runs a small mail server and a Telnet BBS (the BBS requires an 8bit program hence the need for an XP Mode PC).
Yesterday (and a few times in the past), I rebuilt my PC and installed all updates etc and then installed Virtual PC. I went to start my XP Mode PC that was working perfectly 4 hours earlier and it would not start. Cannot find boot sector, NTRL file is missing.. It is just a VHD file same as other VHD's that run perfectly. It is JUST the XP Mode VHD that will not run.
Is this normal? Do I have to rebuild an XP Mode PC everytime I rebuild my PC? The BBS AND mail (20 accounts) will both have to be reinstalled and configured as well if that is the case..
