My VPC created Vista VM doesn't work on Hyper-V
I have a Vista VM that was created with Virtual PC 2007. When I try to use it on a Server 2008 machine with Hyper-V, the integration services will not install. This was making me crazy! Of course I thought about rebuilding the VM, but there's a better way! Check out

This says that Windows Vista and Server 2008 are not detecting the HAL for Hyper-V properly.
This sounded like my problem and once I followed the 7 simple steps, reinstalled the VM Additions for Hyper-V again, I was back in business! Check this out if you are having problems getting your Vista and Server 2008 VM's created in Virtual PC to run in Hyper-V.
Until next time!
