    Creating a 70GB VHD on the host. I'll mount it then restore the XP image (hopefully to DePloy to new hardware works), then detach it and create the XP VB VM using the VHD.

    Sounds reasonable, hope it works.

    Thanks again.

    Indeed.

    Good luck with the restore.

    In any case, XP should install some of the missing drives if it boots.

    If deploy to new hardware works then you have nothing to worry about.

    Once I got XP restored it came up with an error about 64 bit something or other not usable on a 32 bit system.

    I gave up, dumped Virtualbox and the other software I'd installed to try all this and gave the new system to the person I was working on it for.
    Told him to buy software that would work on Windows 10 and forget XP.
