save file direct from host into vhd?

Is there a way to save a file from the host OS into a vhd file?
For example, I'd like to save files from a host XP Pro SP3 into a Virtual
98SE vhd.

I'm not looking to create a separate vhd from an entire HD, as I've seen
asked in some posts here. Rather, I want to copy specific files/folders to
an existing vhd in order to avoid having to save them to a floppy or CD so
that VPC can read them.

Unless I'm missing something, there seem to be only two ways of doing this:
1) save the files/folders as a new vhd
2) create an ISO and capture it

Is there no more direct/efficient/quick method?

Looks like I jumped the gun on this post.
A reinstall of Virtual Machine Additions fixed it.
