Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 2000

DosFreak
Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 2000 The Virtual PC 2007 installer does not allow VPC 2007 to be installed on Windows 2000. Just like Windows Defender the fix is simple. You simply have to remove the limitation from the installer.

Converting "Dynamic" to "Basic" Hard Disk

hardwarecrazy
I recently moved to VISTA Home Premium from W2KS and moved two of my disks to the new system. Unfortunately VISTA Premium is not capable of detecting Dynamic type of Hard Disks-only Ultimate can. If I want to convert to Basic, VISTA warns me that I will loose all data in that process.
