Converting a trial Virtual PC image
I've downloaded a trial Virtual PC image of Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and Team Suite and want to run it using Parallels.
If I give Parallels Transporter the VHD image, it accepts it and then asks me for the Windows Server 2003 CD. This is a free-to-download image from Microsoft and I don't have the specific Windows Server disk.
If I try and use my virtual Windows XP machine on Parallels to try and run the, now free to download, Virtual PC 2007 I get told that the CPU is not the correct type.

Is there anything I can do to get this free-to-download trial image to work without needing a proper version of Windows Server to get it to run?
The Virtual PC VHD image has everything on it that it needs to run, I just want to run it on Parallels.

I'm sure this will be a Microsoft restriction rather than anything Parallels has done, but it would be good to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this.
