Virtual Server 2005 and Windows 7

I installed Windows 7 over the weekend on my desktop. I am unable to re-install Virtual Server 2005 R2. I was using it to do my simulations for the exams that I study for. I am not sure what to do now. I liked using Virtual Server because it is able to start the servers as a service. I guess that I can use Virtual PC 2007. Does anyone know if I can use a VHD from Virtual Server 2005 with Virtual PC 2007?

Thanks

    It may be similar to the problems I had getting it working on the Server 2008 R2 RC. Here's what I used to get it going:

    I will give that a try. I am not sure if it will work. The message I get when I try to install is that the application is blocked from being installed. I am sure that it is not a permissions issue, might be a policy block on the application hash though.
