This is interesting!!! I was discussing this topic with bunch of my colleagues, one of my colleagues told me that we cannot run a virtualized image within a virtualized image. He said I watched too much of INCEPTION!!!
Today, I decided to do an investigation on that. I setup a Windows 7 image running in Hyper-V mode and then installed Virtual PC 2007 inside the virtualized Windows 7. I import an existing Windows XP image with the Virtual PC 2007 and then start the image. Guess what!!! It works fantastically!!! =)
This shows that the INCEPTION idea is working, doing virtualization within a virtualized environment…
Hi Hau,
ReplyDeleteI too tried a similar scenario but instead of Win 7 i used windows xp image in Hyper-V and ran the Windows xp virtual pc.
But the problem i faced was, Windows xp virtual pc could not detect the network adapater. Can you please help me to resolve this issue

It could be drivers issue. Try install the virtual drivers to the XP.
ReplyDeleteHi Hua,
