How to install Windows XP Mode on Windows 7 Home Premium or lower

A video tutorial on installing Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Home Premium or Home Basic.

If your having virtual hard disk problems:

Go back to the VirtualXPVHD base file and right click it. Go to Properties, Security, Edit..., Users, and check Full Control. That should do it.

@herebere444 Hmm, are you sure you installed Virtual PC correctly? Try accessing it from the start menu.

@sM4llziE Hello, I don't know if i did something wrong, but there was always the reminder that I have to registry windows. Did I do something wrong? Now the time is up and I can't start it anymore. (sry for bad english).

@Dandruff You will need to find an activation crack.
