| | Re: How to run Windows 7 patch in VPC? Mark, My question becomes how to copy the file from host hard disk to the virtual hard disk? When I tried to right click the file in host disk and select copy, then went into VPC virtual disk folder, right click, there is no paste selection. Thanks.

| | Re: How to run Windows 7 patch in VPC? My question is this. If the update was for the OS in the vm, why did you download it to the host in the first place? Since it is on the host, just copy it to the vm as Bo suggested.
