But I'll give it another go in a few days time - when I have more time. The Win2K box runs my accounting software and I guess it's another 2.5 months until my next VAT return is due, so I have some time to fix it if I break it :)

Of-course - just had a thought. Since I need to take the 8GB IDE drive out of the original PC to image it anyway, I can remove it, take an image, put it back in, run sysPrep, take it out, get the new image, boot vortual box with the new sysPrepp'd image and if it's still stuck, re-image the drive with the original image and off I go... Bit long winded, but...

Of-course the other way would be for me to get my act together and get some more sensible accountancy stuff going under my Linux box as that's all my old W2K box is used for.

Now where did I leave that spare afternoon...
