Could you be more specific: when you had VFP running successfully, what was the host OS, the VM product/hypervisor, and the guest OS under which VFP was running?

It sounds like all you've done is (effectively) added another host OS on a separate partition. Are you saying that when you boot to the original host OS, load up the VM and try to run VFP it no longer works?

It may depend on how you created the new partition. If your original partition consumed the whole disk, and you "shrank" it to make room for the new one, this can cause file system problems on the "original" partition. One thing to try would be to run CHKDSK on the original partition.

I don't know whether Windows 7 introduces any changes to NTFS. This might be an issue if you're accessing the contents of the Win7 partition when booting XP, or vice-versa.
