Hmm. I don't have Virtual PC installed right now on my computer here at
home, so I can't check this, but I think that you can use the Virtual PC
preferences (from the Macintosh menu inside Virtual PC) to select your C
drive. That would suggest you could install version 2 using your
full-installation CD, then move the old C drive image into your new Virtual
PC folder. I haven't tried this and I'm not even sure it makes sense, but I
thought I'd mention it. I'm going to be reinstalling Virtual PC later today
on my PowerBook and I may be able to tell you a little more after I do.
I've found Connectix's tech support to be really fantastic. I see that
you're in the UK, so phoning them might be more difficult for you than it
is for me. (They have a USA toll-free number.) Have you tried email? My
experience is that email is usually a less efficient way to get help than
the phone; but perhaps Connectix does a better job than most....
Good luck.
