I did not see that option before, strange I guess old age is catching up to me faster than I thought. I will pull the VHD tomorrow. I should know soon enough if I can run it in Hyper-V. One of the downsides to Hyper-V is machines created in Virtual Server do not run in Hyper-V or at least I have yet to find a way to get them to run. Opps just found out how to do that! That is going to speed up my deployment of the server big time and also save me a ton of time.
