Starting with the vm shutdown, . . . 1) Settings: add 2nd Hard Drive of smaller size 2) Boot up the vm 3) Partition the "new" drive 4) Copy/Paste the XP partition and mark as bootable; note that your partitioning program needs to be able to cope via copying from the partition that is the current boot drive and that EASEUS and others handle this quite well. 5) Shutdown, not suspend 6) Settings: Delete all hard drives, but do keep the files. 7) Settings: add again that 2nd hard drive of the smaller size, noting that it is now the Primary Master Settings: add again the former boot drive, noting that it is now the Primary Slave 9) Boot again with the smaller hard drive This is not much different than the "real hardware" steps.
