Have you tried creating a new vm and attaching the problematic .vhd as a
second virtual hard drive?

Just for the heck of it, i just attached my DOS6.22 .vhd as the second disk
of my WIN98SE VM. It came up just fine and W98 "My Computer" showed that it
had been auto-assigned as Drive D.

(Oh, I removed it after testing. I guess if I had both VMs up at once there
could be some kind of collision...............)

One way is to access the virtual hd image directly from the host, using the
VHDMount included with Virtual Server:
