I tried exporting it and moving it some months ago and learned that Windows didn't like that. I don't recall the details, and I wasn't in a hurry, so I put off dealing with it. So what I did this morning was to use the already created virtual machine on 14.04 but point it to the image on the 12.04 drive. Thanks for the details. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
