As we know XP is getting older so everyone is turnign there PCs to Windows7. So, I decided To post Some tips related to Winodws7 Lets start!!
You Can Activate XP mode in Windows 7
If you've got old but important software that no longer runs under Windows 7, then you could try using XP Mode, a virtual copy of XP that runs in a window on your Windows 7 desktop.
This only works with Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate. And your system will need to have hardware virtualisation (AMD-V or Intel VT) built in and turned on , too (check your Bios to make sure).
An alternative is to use VirtualBox, a free virtualisation tool that doesn't insist on hardware support, but you will need to find a licensed copy of XP (or whatever other Windows version your software requires) for its virtual machine.
You can Create VHD(virtual hard driver)
Microsoft's Virtual PC creates its virtual machine hard drives in VHD files, and Windows 7
can now mount these directly so you can access them in the host system.
1. Click Start, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter,
2. Click Action
3. Attach VHD and choose the file you'd like to mount.
It will then appear as a virtual drive in Explorer and can be accessed, copied or written just like any other drive.
4., Click Action
5. Create VHD and you can now create a new virtual drive
of your own (right-click it, select Initialise Disk, and after it's set up right-click the unallocated space and
select New Simple Volume to set this up). Again, you'll be left with a virtual drive that behaves just like any other,
where you can drag and drop files, install programs, test partitioning software or do whatever you like.
But it's actually just this VHD file on your real hard drive which you can easily back up or share with others.
Right-click the disk (that's the left-hand label that says "Disk 2" or whatever) and select Detach VHD to remove it.
The command line DISKPART utility has also been upgraded with tools to detach a VHD file,
and an EXPAND command to increase a virtual disk's maximum size. Don't play around with this unless
you know what you're doing, though - it's all too easy to trash your system.
