Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / May 2005Virtual PC List has 'forgotten' my Virtual Machine
I moved my Virtual Machine file from an external firewire HD to my internal HD. Now my Virtual Machine no longer appears in the Virtual PC 7 List, and the VPC program keeps inviting me to create a new Machine. However if I launch VPC and choose file:Open\(my machine's name), VPC finds my machine, shows it in the VirtualPC List, and runs it just fine. But when I quit VPC, it again disappears from the list. How do I get Virtual PC List to remember my virtual machine? (VPC 7.0.1; Panther 10.3.8) > I moved my Virtual Machine file from an external firewire HD to my internal > HD.

In it, you can have either aliases to the original virtual machine bundles (directories that look like files because the Finder shows them that way), or the original bundles themselves. I gather that because you had the virtual machine bundles on another volume, they are not originals that are located in your Home directory. Therefore, you may have aliases that are now broken in the Virtual PC List directory. It's a matter, then, to fix these aliases so that they point to the original virtual machine bundles. Find these aliases, and if they don't resolve using the Show Original command in the Finder, trash them and make new aliases from the original virtual machine bundles at their new location (on your internal disk). Virtual PC should then get to display them in its Virtual PC List window.  Signature-- tonza. >In your Home directory, you should have a directory called "Virtual PC List". The Virtual PC List folder is actually in your Documents folder. This is the path that Virtual PC follows to find your virtual machine or a working alias to that VM. If none are found, it will prompt you to create a new VM >> In your Home directory, you should have a directory called "Virtual PC List". > > The Virtual PC List folder is actually in your Documents folder.
