Windows disk access

Post by Trevtoo »

One of my pet gripes with XP is seeing that disk access light flickering all the time. Just like to know If Windows has access to the VB virtual drives if I'm playing around with a disk editor in an MSDOS session for instance, or are the vdi's isolated from Windows?
Thanks

VDI's are simple flat files on your Host file system, while in use they are locked.
