I have an old dell xp system that I have converted over to a Windows Home Server system and no longer use the XP Disk. Since I own the computer and the disk, I would like to make an iso image of the xp os and run it in a Virtual Machine on my laptop Windows 7 system. I just don't know how to make the iso so that only the xp system will be created and not the dell system checking along with it, since it will be in a virtual machine environment. I have access to win xp,SP3, 2003 server, and win7 operating systems to create the iso but would prefer to use my Win7 as it is my main system. I need to know what software to get, and the steps to take or at least the guides to download to do this. A clear, concise, and understandable answer will earn the 10 points. Thank you in advance for your help.

This is an oil painting my son did in his younger years, but it got stored by being folded over and over instead of being rolled - because we didn't know any better at the time.

It was recently found, but is very creased - is it easily repairable (can I iron it from the back on light heat or something like that), or is it something expensive? Please advise, and Thank you.
