Just load XP into it. Do you have an XP disk? There are probably lots of ways to get a good version of XP. When the VM runs up a new virtual PC, you just have a XP disk in the DVD slot. I just used an image of my old XP system I had hanging about, a file copy "ISO" of your XP disk would also work too. It accepts those too. I am curious if the data will merge OK using the VM version. This is what you could do... (if you had the "plus" or WD version of Acronis).... Make an image copy of your netbook XP using acronis, and transfer the image to your Win 7 pro 64 bit machine (I use the same OS). Load up the acronis recovery disk into an XP virtual machine without the OS in it. "Recover" your netbook onto the virtual machine and see if it runs up. It worked for me.
