Once again, the lesson here is: if you have VPC working well MAKE A
BACKUP COPY of the virtual disk file so that you can recover from the
inevitable crash. This also goes for any upgrade - including VPC7.

This should be the first tip on the VPC FAQ page!
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/using.aspx?pid=usingvirtualpc
(but does not seem to be mentioned anywhere)

See my tips for backing up at
