SORRY - IGNORE THIS. POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM. I HAVE REPOSTED UNDER MAC. OK so my XP VM has corrupted itself - blue screens at the end of the boot with some flashing message about unmountabe boot drive. Great reminder why i dont use XP as a native OS anymore. I'm resigned to creating a new VW and starting from scratch but it would save me 1-2 days work if i can salvage some files from my old VM (.hdd) image. I read on another thread that you can mount an old .hdd as a seperate drive in a new VM. Are there any instructions for doing this ? Thanks
