Mounting without Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server
VHD_XP_Setup – Install XP on VHD
If you also have Windows XP running on another computer, you can transfer that VHD file to the XP computer and mount it without having to run Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server. You can just install a component of Microsoft Virtual Server and run a command from the command line.
NOTE: If you have applied a password to your VHD file using BitLocker in Windows 7, you will NOT be able to access your VHD file in Windows XP. You will be prompted to format the drive.
