Now you select a Migration scenario. We selected “I only have this PC”
Now you can select whether you are migrating from the same hard disk or an XP installation on an old hard disk. We selected “No, I am doing an in-place migration”
The Zinstall wizard now searches for an old installation of XP as per your migration scenario.
It will then display the old installations detected by it, and will allow you to detect a destination for the virtualized install.
The migration process begins by analyzing the selections.
The analysis and migration process takes quite some time.
The migration will retain your old disk structure, thereby retaining all your old data in the new install.
The migration process itself will take a couple of hours as an image of you old systemw ill be made and adjusted to work on the new virtualized hardware.
And you’re done! The new system will have an icon in the system tray which will allow you to switch between your Windows 7 and XP machines at any time.
The ZInstall system tray icon gives you access to your old or new systema and its files.
Your old system files are accessible in the new Windows 7 system, and your new system’s files are visible in the old XP system as network shares.
