| | VPC 2007 and PC DOS 2000 (CD/DVD drive not recognized by DOS VM) How do I get Virtual PC 2007 to access my CD/DVD drive for my IBM PC DOS 2000 VM? When I run DOSShell in PC DOS, I see only the A, B and C drives. I have a floppy (A) and 2 hard drives (C, D). My DVD burner is E. The B drive in DOSShell is irrelevant because it corresponds to nothing on my hardware; but I'm still trying to get PC DOS to recognize my DVD drive. -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums....al-pc/200908/1 |

The easiest way is to use the VMAdditions from VPC2004, you can download them from my website. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |
