In part, I was curious and in part I didn’t want the hassle of installing ATI and then its Plus Pack, nor the clutter of that extra software in the WinXP installation that I was trying to capture in a drive image. They were not external solutions, as where a Windows program of some sort would treat the entire VM as the object of a conversion procedure, comparable to the conversion of a video file from one format to another.įor present purposes, I was interested in the latter (bootable ISO/USB) approach. In the language of another post, both of these were internal solutions – that is, they ran within the VM. Similar options also existed within the VM world. I could install it into that system and then run it in WinXP or I could boot it from a USB drive and use it to capture the state of the WinXP installation when the latter was not running. If the WinXP installation had been on a physical system, there would have been two ways to run ATI. I hoped that its ability to capture and restore essential drivers would produce a bootable physical installation.

To assist in this, I wanted to run Acronis True Image (ATI) 2011 Plus Pack. As described in another post, I wanted to convert a Windows XP virtual machine (VM) to physical form.
