Drive Letters in XP Mode

[owensdj]

I have XP Mode set up on a Win7 Pro 64-bit system. I can see the hard drive on the host(Win7) system as "C on <computer name>" in XP's Windows Explorer. How do a get a drive letter in XP Mode for the drive? My legacy application that runs in the virtual machine needs a drive letter to access the data. Thanks.

Map it as a network drive.

Map it as a network drive.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that, but it didn't work. What would the "folder name" look like? \\<host computer name>\C?

I can't remember if VPC has a host network like RDP or VMware host folders, but you can always just share it from the host and map it like normal. Did you create the "C" share before trying that?

OK I got it working. I had to use \\tsclient\c when I mapped the drive in the virtual machine rather than using the computer name.
