Re: Lost the windows 2000 OS

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Since the VPC image file is non-bootable, if you double click on the file from Mac Finder it MIGHT appear as an image on the desktop. Then you can use Finder to drag your precious files to OS X folders.
Your problem is why I strongly recommend that VPC users always use a d: drive to store their Windows/DOS data rather than in the c: drive. See
