the .vhd in step 4d Brink is the Windows XP Mode base.vhd and its size stays at 1,184,240KB so its not a problem,
during set up it saves the Windows XP Mode.vhd to
C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines, and its size increases which is a problem if your hdd like mine is a fairly small ssd.
Ah, that one. You could move the VHD file to another location of your choice, then:
- Close Windows XP Mode if opened.
- Open the C:\Users\(user-name)\Virtual Machines folder
- Right click on Windows XP Mode.vmcx, and click on Settings
- Click on Browse, and select the VHD at it's new location
- If Parent Disk (base) is empty, click on Create, and select whatever base VHD location you had there before, or create a new one where you like.
- Click on OK when finished.
i have no .vmcx in my virtual machines folder Brink, i have
windows xp mode.vhd, windows xp mode.vmc and windows xp mode.vmc.vpcbackup
none of those give a settings option when right clicked.
edit: forget that i was looking in the wrong place, found it now.
a massive thanks to you again Brink your an absolute star mate.
