I built a machine for work with a 60GB SSD for the boot drive and 750GB drive for d:. Normally 60GB would be more than enough for our OS and app installs, but VirtualXP seems to take quite a bit too. If possible I would like to move it to D:.
Yes, you can.
Do this:
- Go to Folder options, choose Show hidden files, uncheck Hide extensions for known file types
- Go to C:\Users\Your_Username\Virtual Machines
- Check the status of XP Mode. If it is hibernating, reboot it and then turn it off. XP Mode must be powered down before changing settings!
- Go to C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines
- Copy or move virtual machine file Windows XP Mode.vhd to a new location
- Go back to C:\Users\Your_Username\Virtual Machines
- Click Windows XP Mode and then Settings in the menu bar
- Choose Hard Disk 1 on the left pane
- On the right pane browse to new location of Windows XP Mode.vhd
- Click OK
Your XP Mode virtual machine is now moved.

Thanks for the help, I'll be making the move Monday morning.
