I am still in the transition from XP to Linux and have some more questions:

I have now an image of XP on XP created. I have also created other images from other Linux versions created. Unfortunately the space on my hard disk became to small and I moved the directories of the virtual machines to another drive. The image did not work anymore. I moved it back, it did not work anymore either. I had to re-install the image. Not a big deal for this test, but for the real transition, I would like to move the image over to the next hard disk.

Which version of Vmware? I personally have wired two machines together and dragged vmware machine subdirectories from one to the other and had them work just fine. Vmware itself had to be installed on the other machine, but the virtual machines copied over just fine. It sounds like some damage was done in your first copy. The sentence:

I have now an image of XP on XP created. is hard to parse.
