Re: Lost VPC -- can I work with vpc6 disk image?

I picked up a copy of Parallels with the intention of using my VPC XP
install with it (my VPC software has been retired for years). I've
torn through 100 boxes and I can't find my disks or licenses -- but I
did find a DVD with a backup of my .vpc6 drive image from when I was
using VPC.

Question 1: is it possible to open and/or convert this image without
VPC installed?

Question 2: if I manage to do that, can I clone it to a Parallels image
and get up and running that way?

Thanks,
Jeff

Question 1 ---> question is irrelevant. It's not legally permitted as
per your EULA

Question 2 ---> wrong newsgroup. This ng is for VPC, not Parallels

.
