Disk2vhd and VirtualBox woes
-
And the biggest reason I ask these integration questions, I cannot connect my VM to the internet as the VM's network adapter shows not connected in settings. Rest of the settings in image below:
-
At this point, can I export the VM with the attached VHD to something else so I can try to run the VM in another virtual manager?
The VM needs to have internet access so I can run the database conversion to Quickbooks, which can only be done on the same PC running an instance of the Microsoft Accounting program.

Can you select a virtual switch to attach it to?

no other choice but not connected

The VM wants to do driver updates, but without a internet connection it can't find whatever drivers it's looking for.

have you installed the VirtualBox tools using the virtual ISO?
-
I have the VM running under Hyper-V on a Windows 10tp PC

Can I run a virtual machine within a virtual machine? IE: W10PE is my physical PC and I want to install W8.1 as a VM and then launch the VM of Vista in W8.1.

I don't believe you can with Hyper-V... you probably can with Virtualbox or other type-2 hypervisors since they don't directly interact with the hardware.

@coliver Thanks for the info. I will install VirtualBox on the W10PE machine and see if I can get my VHD to run in VB. I really need to be able to remote into the box and access the VM, and Hyper-V is missing the tools in the W10PE build.

@scottalanmiller Ah ha...finally I figured it out...I couldn't connect to a virtual switch because I hadn't created one yet.
I found this tutorial on Hyper-V, http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2087-hyper-v-virtualization-setup-use-windows-10-a.html
Part Three explains how to create a virtual switch.
Part Five explains that Vista (and earlier) VMs have to be created as a legacy Windows VM. Which means having to "add hardware" in the VM settings and choose Legacy Network Adapter.
And finally I was also able to enable quest services via Integration Services under the Management tab.
