Re: Extract Windows XP from Parallels 3.0 VM
What you see is what I would expect. It should have reverted the internal structure of a v3 format .hdd file to be a v2 format .hdd file. The file should not change dramatically in size, the extension will not change. Now you need to find out if VirtualBox will accept the converted file.

Re: Extract Windows XP from Parallels 3.0 VM
Okay, you're saying create a new VM inside VirtualBox and see if it will import the changed hdd file. I tried doing this and got an error message. VB is saying that a VM already exists. Not sure how to create a new VM and import the hdd. Some help with this would be appreciated.
