I've just installed pretty much everything I need for my VM. New Firefox, Adblock, Eliteswitch, Java, Flash, SCAR, SRL, and the VM addition. And I really don't want to go through that a ton of times over and over. So is there any way I can copy my current VM and replicate it?
Edit: I'm using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 just so you know...

just go through and make another one it doesnt take that long

and also there is no real point to another as you will have the same ip address... and if you dont contact me i'd like to know what you are doing to get a different ip address

You can create a new one and specify an existing Virtual Hard Disk

would that actually work?? I use vpc 2007 as well so would love that, I thought that it would cause a read/write conflict tho if you run both at once!

just running one at a time would work tho
