Alterego Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I need help on sharing a folder with the host PC.I installed Virtual PC 2004 on a Win2Ksp4 host machine.Virtual machine runs WinME and is of use to execute an old MS-DOS program essential for my job!!!This program is LogicMaster 90, for GE-Fanuc Programmable Logic Control, for who knows about it...It can't run correctly under Win2K, that I need for others reasons: this is why I installed Virtual PC.The problem is the MS-DOS program can't see correctly the shared directory.For example, if I share the host directory c:\SR\ as E: in the virtual machine, the MS-DOS program can see E:\, but isn't able to browse the subdirectories! Any suggestion?Many thanks.Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyattXP Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 is your Win 2k formatted with NTFS??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterego Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 No, I left it as FAT32... Is this a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterego Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 Furthermore, also the WinME explorer can't browse the E: virtual drive unit subdirectories!!!Maybe it's a problem of ME OS, isn't it?Should I try with a WinME patch? If yes, which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSage Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 you can mount the partition with your dir. as a virtual hard disk. ME will see it as nothing more than a plain hd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alterego Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 I talked to others Virtual PC users, and I've seen this is a well known problem.Hope Microsoft will fix it in next releases and updates.By the way, I solved connecting host folder to be shared as network unit.Many thanks to you all.Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
