Hi Kari,
Please help me.
I had the same problem as the OP - a technician changed something in the “Integration Features” (I guess he touched the “Integration Features/Networking” from “Shared Networking NAT” to “Realtek PCIe bla bla”) because it didn’t acquire an IP from that intranet DHCP server, and from that moment I couldn’t see anymore the HDD of Win7_host (although I played a lot with those Windows Virtual PC Settings/Integration Features/Enable at startup, drives etc)
Then I read this post Kari, where you said:
“Before uninstalling, copy the XP Mode vhd file to a safe place. It's located in C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines
After uninstalling, reboot and reinstall Virtual PC and XP Mode. Run XP Mode one time, shut it down. Rename the new XP Mode vhd (or move it to another location) and replace it with the one you backed up before uninstall.”
Again, you said „copy the XP Mode vhd file” that is ONE FILE (not files aka not plural)
And then you said AGAIN „and replace it with the one” – your words, „THE ONE” file NOT files .
So I did copy that 30GB vhd (that contained a ton of Oracle ERP DB and other important stuff) and then I uninstalled & re-Installed as you indicated but at the end, when I tried to use my old 30GB vhd file, an error window appeared:
and the „C:\Users\MyUserName\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vmcx” file was gone.
Is it possible to start Xpmode and re-use and old „Windows XP Mode.vhd” ? (using just "that" one-file)
