Note :- CG software's (Autodesk 3ds max, maya, SoftImage, Adobe Cs6, Nuke) are very huge so pendrive is not an option

OP, I'm not intending to derail your thread but I'd like to know how to do the same thing
with VirtualBox. Thanks. (I want to run Windows XP Pro SP3 as the guest OS in Windows 7 64-bit SP1 HP).

Here is was my process, maybe this will help:

With Vmware Workstation 9, Windows 7 host and XP guest.

Before making any changes, I have set up file sharing on the host and the guest.

With the VM closed, I added a shared folder on the VM utility and set it to enabled.

I then powered up the VM and the shared folder was under "My Computer."

Make sure you have file sharing enabled on both before setting this up.
