I was hoping to preserve my XP Pro SP3 box with five years of work on it as a VM using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Virtual PC. But the disk drive on the XP box is 232GB and this size makes it unusable with Virtual PC:
Note: Virtual PC supports a maximum virtual disk size of 127GB. If you create a VHD from a larger disk, even if you only include data from a smaller volume, it will not be accessible from a Virtual PC VM. In addition Virtual PC doesn't support the Multiprocessor Specification, which means that it won't be able to boot VHD's from multiprocessor Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems.

So I have a possibly useless VHD of this 232GB hard drive from my XP box. Am I able to use this VHD as the basis for a VM in VMware Player or Workstation?
yes you can
