I would like convert an existing VPC7 for Mac image to VPC2004 for
Windows (or another version or VMWARE). Is it possible?.

Thanks!.

It is possible but not allowed with the Windows licensed for use with VPC.

If you bought your own Windows license (;) or you have an MSDN/volume
license in your VPC for Mac VM, Parallels and VMware each have a
migration utility for this.

Parallels utility is called Transporter.  VMware's is called Converter.
 I refer you to each of those respective companies to get  further details.

I'm not sure if either of those convert a Mac Virtual PC drive to a
Windows Virtual PC drive.

You probably better off simply transferring your own files (Word
documents, etc.) using a CD orUSB drive. That way you can install a
fresh version of Windows and the applications rather than transferring
a hard drive that is already having possible problems, corruptions and
other nasties.

I have VPC 2007 and VMWare at work.  I'll take a small Windows 98 drive from
VPC to work tomorrow and give it a shot and let you know how it goes.

It works, but there are hardware deltas.  Aside from licensing issues,
it's not something you'd want to move back and forth from.

I was able to migrate my Windows 98SE from VPC 7.02 to VPC 2007 just fine.

Finally, I created a new VPC2007 virtual machine with the old vhd file
and works fine.

Thanks to yours suggestions!!!.
