Win XP fails to start on Virtual PC
I had been running Win XP on Virtual PC without any problems until recently.

Now when I start Win XP I get the Windows OS message that Windows had not been shut down properly and gives me the options of starting in "Safe Mode", etc.

When I try any of the start-up options the OS never loads, even if I let the G5 iMac try for hours.

My copy of Virtual PC seems to be OK since I can still run the Win2000 virtual machine.

My question is, can I reload Win XP on the already created virtual machine without losing any of the files on the VM?

Otherwise is there any way to get any of the files stored on this VM even though the OS is corrupted?
