W2000 In Win7 Doesn't Recognize Drives

Post by Milanodan »

Have W2000PRO running in Win 7, but it won't recognize any drives other than C. What do I need to do? Thanks.

Managed to get it to recognize the DVD drive, but it only finds Folders, not files.

HELP!

It's a virtual machine. It only recognizes virtual drives.

If what you want to do is copy in some files from your other PC (your host), then install the guest additions and read the user manual section on shared folders (4.3).

OK, thanks. Virtual drives are new to me.
