TIA

 

 

 

Answer
Answer

The VM's hard drive image is stored in a VHD file.  You could (in theory) mount this file into Windows 7 and explore it, but mount it as read-only so you ensure you do not make any modifications to the file.

To accomplish this:

• Type disk management into your Start menu, then press Enter.

• Highlight your primary hard drive, then click Attach VHD from the Action menu.  Choose your XP Mode VHD file.  Be sure to select read-only.
