That’s weird — I can’t recall ever having Converter fail.
The one problem you might have doing the virtualizing with something other than a utility from a VM company is that when you first boot the VM, it will see different hardware than it’s used to and the copy protection may kick in and make you re-authenticate. I doubt MicroShaft will still authenticate W7, given how much effort they’re expending to drag us all, kicking and screaming, to WX. If you virtualize with a utility from a VM company, they seem to handle all that in transparently. I’ve never seen it be a problem, anyway, where I have for example, trying to run virtual disks built under Virtual PC and used to Virtual PC’s virtualized hardware, under VMWare. You MIGHT get around that by running Sysprep before virtualizing, if that’s still around.
yeah I may have to go with a new copy of winows 7- (my computer came with windos already sintaleld, and no disk- perhaps I can find an .iso and purchase a key- I dunno- too much to think of right now) but I don’;t wanna if I don’t have to- but I will if forced to- I’m giving paragon hard disk a try right now- We’ll see how it goes- I’ll report back here-
Bah I tried the paragon program too and it wouldn’t allow me to select which partitions - - I have been trying to get l inux up and running- had to install it aobut 6 times now in just a few days- Everythgin would be going great- gettign all the tweaks done that i like, email on etc- then wham- outta nowhere firefox won’t run and email stops working- can’t find info on line to fix them- so i reinstall linux again- Then i tried mint’s backup utility- thinking ‘well at l east if something goes wrong, I’ve got a restore point- NOPE! didn’t work-
Linux is god, when it’;s not broken that is- I’ve attempted to run it twice last and this year- once about 8 months ago (ran them in VM’s then)
It’s like going back to windows 95 where I spend hours and horus and hours trying to fix some wacky issue- only with linux, the help forums are uber-geek-speak and i can’t follow what they’re saying-
I wanna like Linux- but it’s just not letting me-
