Issues installing & running Windows XP SP3 in Hyper V

I'm playing around with Windows XP as a VM in Hyper V for reasons I won't go into. I have a bootable Windows XP SP3 CD I created some time ago. I've hit the following issues.

1. I can install XP from the CD but Hyper V seems to want access to the bootable CD whenever the VM is restarted. It would be faster to use an ISO file stored on a SSD. I've tried various ways to create a bootable ISO file from my CD but failed. What's the best way of creating an ISO file which will install XP and run under Hyper V?
2. I installed a virtual switch using a legacy network adapter but cannot connect the VM to the internet. Has anyone done this and what are the key steps? Is it safe to use XP to connect to internet from Hyper V?
3. I mounted the VM's .vhdx file to copy over some programs to test but this broke the VM's virtual drive configuration on restarting the VM. What's the best way to transfer files to the VM from elsewhere on my PC?

More problems with Activesync after XP SP3.

Activesync stopped funtioning after XP SP3.

Syncronisation with Orange SPV M3100 failed. Attempted to migrate to latest version of Activesync (4.5) before starting diagnostics.



Installation of ActiveSync 4.5 was unsucessful.

Setup.msi file downloaded, but will not run (XP Pro SP2).

• If run from download screen, error message = 'Installation package could not be opened'.
  
• 
  If run after saving to HDD,error message = 'Unknown publisher. No valid digital signature'.
  
  Has anybody experienced the same issue?
