Vista - Transfering Files from VPC to Host Issue

Hey Group,

I'm trying to transfer a file (7.5GB in size) from my Virtual XP
System to my host Vista System. Its has been tranfering file equal or
larger in size for months now with no problem. Only recently it has
started acting up.
It starts the transfer process and makes it 50%, 75% or so and then
acts like its completed. I check the file size on the host and its
only 3.5GB of the file.

1.) Is there an alternative way to access and maintence the virtual
disk?
2.) Is there a way to transfer the file through some other means?

Thanks for any and all effort that is put into this issue of mine.
Thanks Again!

Other than what?

You have failed to say *how* you are trying to transfer the file so it
is rather hard to say what your options are....
In your situaton I would have opened a network share between the host
and guset and then copied the file through that share. That usually
always works provided the network is stable.
But since you do not say in what way you are trying to transfer the
file it is hard to advice.

Alternative to the "Obvious Available Methods".

If you use Virtual PC then you would know that by installing the
additions you can transfer "ANY" files to or from the host. In
addition to the "Drag N Drop" feature. I have also tried the "Network
Share" method. Both methods at this point (having worked before on the
same computer "AND" operating system.) fail to completely copy
"ANY(Variable meaning any file that floats my boat)" file and/or
folder.

Lamen Terms:
Transferring files from Virtual PC to the host was a simple task until
it recently stopped working properly. This leaves me with the question
of:
"How can I Transfer My Files to the host if the conventional methods
are not working?" hmmm "Can there be another way to access a .VHD
file?
hmmmm "Is it possible to mount the virtual drive in the host OS?" and
if so "Is there a program in which to accomplish this?"

Your fumbling attempt at condescension can only be matched by your:
1.) Intellectual inability to actually read a post before writing a
response.
2.) Your vain and helpless understanding of the English language.

I suggest you take a break. My reaction to your post was exactly the same as
Bo's, and I did not respond to it for exactly that reason.

I have used Windows Networking of several computers in my home office for many
years, and for me Windows Networking is a far more natural way to transfer files
than the Shared Folders feature in VPC.

Also, a web (or Google groups) search will quickly turn up documented problems
with the Shared Folders mechanism in VPC.

Are you sure you are having problems transferring using a Network Share?

I have never tried this, but if you search for "VHD mount" you will get lots of
hits.

This is not a response one would expect from trying to help someone in
a newsgroup. I simply asked you to specify the way you have tried the
copy since there are several different options available. Given such a
specification the alternatives would have been listed, however based
on your response I deem you not worthy of any more help attempts.
