New It might make sense to buy a copy of Winders.
Have you seen this? http://www.virtualbo...i/Migrate_Windows Some tweaks may be needed to get Winders to migrate into a VM.

But at this point it might make sense to punt. You can still get XPHome for $100 at Newegg, and it's on eBay too (of course). It should run fine in a VM. It might save you some time - something that none of us have too much of these days. :-)

HTH.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Already made install media for W7
For now I'll dual boot. Either system comes up fast enough to not be annoying. Eventually someone with more time and experience will do what I'm trying and write it up.
