Change Windows Installation in same VM I wonder if anyone can help - hopefully this is a simple query. I need to uninstall WinXPPro from a VM and install normal WinXP instead for license reasons. The reason I don't want to just create a new VM is that I have some trial software installed on the original VM that I want to keep using until it runs out. Is there a way to uninstall WinXPPro and reinstall WinXP inside the same VM without losing V data/programs etc? Thanks in advance for any tips. |

Simple answer, no. When you un-install Windows XP it will dump your programs. __________________ Parallels Service Partner Consulting Available - Contact me via e-mail for more details.

If you have the trial installer or the likes on your computers still, when you create the new install, just add your old drive as drive 2 via the properties, you should then be able to copy it over to your new install.
