I think I understand that, but the transfer of information is what I am

after. I cannot find a place to map A drive (from the real machine), I'm

still pokeing around.

Subject: RE: Files in windows7 xpmode

Hi Jerry. If I may jump in here for just a moment. When you create and then

enter into the XPMode, or any other virtual operating system (I use vmware

desktop to do the same thing), you have entered a "virtual environment"

where the standard "C:\" environment is within that "C:\" drive which is a

virtual drive, and is not the "C:\" drive of the host operating system (I

use Windows 7 64 bit as the host).

So everything will be in the appropriate directory within the virtual

operating system drive. The integration features of XPMode will allow you

to exchange information (i.e.: copy and paste) between the "real" operating

system locations and the "virtual" operating system locations, but always be

mindful that those environments are not the same.

Developing in the virtual environment is otherwise practically the same as

developing in the real environment, as you will have access to other

computers, the internet, etc. There is likely to be a way to access the

virtual XP machine from the host (the "real" machine) but I have not yet

been on that road. :(

Let me stop here, as others will likely chime in with more, and perhaps

clearer explanations.

I hope this helps a little.

* Hi, Jerry

* One thing to look out for: depending on how your drive(s) are
