Does anyone know if I can copy my vpc image to a new hard
drive, and make it bootable?

Thanks

Hi,

You would have to treat it like a real PC. First you should run sysprep to
avoid network conflicts, then use a program like Ghost to image it

So if I would need to install ghost or similar on the
actrual image? - This might not work, as I am trying to
do this in an evidential manner, and not make any
changes. Any other ideas? - Can I simply copy the image
file (700MB) to a cd/dvd and somehow recreate the data
onto a real hard drive?

Thanks

Booting from a ghost floppy IN the VPC won't change the VPC in any way.

Up, given your business requirement, why don't you just give it to
them as a VHD, and let them use VPC to access it?
