Parallels installation of Windows XP Professional in Virtual PC disc.

[Joe]

Hello, everyone.

I have just installed Parallels in my new Intel mac and now need to
install Windows. I have a full version of Windows XP Professional as
a .zip file on disc 1 of Virtual PC. After extracting the .zip file a
new file with the same name is placed on the desktop but with the
extension .vhd instead. As I right-clicked on this file a menu option
installed by parallels and named "Parallels Mounter" mounted a virtual
[C] disk on the desktop labeled [C] Windows XP Professional. This disk
appears to contain all files related to Windows XP Professional for a
new installation (although I am not sure).

How can I install Windows XP Professional from my Virtual PC disc in
Parallels ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

This newsgroup is working just fine, only MS says it's closed and
they don't control the other 100s of NNTP servers in the world
that still actively carry this newsgroup.
